He With the Gold Makes the Rules and if Not Kept in Check, will Exploit the Masses

There are many forms of government in the world and a Dictatorship is one of them. All too often in Dictatorships problems arise from a Machiavellian view and the need to retain power. We all know that he with the gold makes the rules. We also know that absolute power corrupts absolutely, so if a leader is not kept in check, they will work to exploit the masses to stay in control. Recently in an online forum discussion on this matter it was discussed how Osama bin Laden used his money and power to exploit people and how other dictators kept the masses in poverty to control them and recruit them to serve their anger and political will to the detriment of the rest of the world.
