    It's a world where the rich get richer, and the poor have to fend for themselves.

    Using fear as an excuse for greed. History repeats itself. Or humans.

    I think fear. Fear is often the root of evil, horrible, costly things!!

    I think it's greed which fuels fear. Or, it's like Antares says. In either case, it ain't good.
