I'm a monetarian. Whatever position makes me the most money is the best position. You can take it with you and yes, the more money you have the better you are.

For if you cannot bribe the Blessed Exchequer for entry into the Divine Treasury then you will be cast out into the vault of eternal destitution. What better way to secure your eternal happiness than running for public office and integrating yourself into the grand flow of corruption where all money must pass through your hands?

There is nothing more blessed than short term quarterly gains. For it is written "war is good for business".
