"If money could really talk, it would say goodbye"
We sometimes says "money talks", which means that people with money can get respect wherever they go. They can go anywhere and do anything. They don't need words, because their money communicates who they are and how important they are.
And I know many people that are like that, including some relatives. And You?

I can't understand what does that phrase "money talks means". If it deals with having respect because those people were rich, i don't believe it. Respect gains tru works not by money. Money is just an instrument for trade,no more no less. Maybe some people use money as a source of power but for me,i don't really care if you are rich or poor. If a person doesn't know how to respect his fellow, he shall not gain respect from me too. I go for a right thing, and i will stand on what i think is right.

I am a firm believer in that phrase, even more so after moving to this very small town in which I am living. Money can keep one out of jail (actually it can prevent one from being arrested), can buy votes in an election (happens ever election here...despite those who do it being caught and prosecuted), can buy your child the starring role in school plays, can buy your child the title of valedictorian and more !! Yup, those are just a few of the things I have seen occur due to deep pockets in this town!
