It seems best to avoid those that bring money but no skills/services to the table. While some could prove to be good allies, many others are more apt to be parasites than productive. If this country weren't so full of people trying to (or succeeding) in getting rich without actually producing anything useful, we wouldn't be in such a sorry state.
Capitalism and competition can be a wonderful environment for innovation, but it can have a dark side when greed games the picture. I stumbled on an interesting piece a while back that I thought adds perspective
