best security is not obviously money. i wouldnt know of course, but there's a good scene that covers this in the first(ish) season of House of Cards: Kevin Spaceys character laments about otherwise excellent talent shortsightedly chasing the $$$ of the private sector jobs rather than strategically climbing the ladder of Capital Hill. All this to say, his point is broadly that influence and power can always find a way to money, money doesn't necessarily flow the other way through, not in every situation etc.

- hoseja 4y agoWhat is the difference.
- michaelt 4y agoThe world of House of Cards is one in which each politician is constantly surrounded by people - even among their allies - who want to stab them in the back to take their job or remove them as a threat. And they'll happily use any dirty tricks, betrayal or even murder to accomplish it. Doesn't sound very secure to me.
- actionfromafar 4y agoThere's a lot of competition at the top of power structures.
- tqi 4y agoHm it sounds like what you are saying is that power is a more reliable way to get money, but money is still ultimately the goal?
