Money worship

[NewsWhore]

Hoy newspaper's Que Se Dice commentator focuses today on the large turnout at the funeral in tribute to drug trafficker Rolando Florian Feliz, known for extreme violence in his life and multiple crimes. Claudio Acosta writes that the tributes to "the leader" work against Dominican society, and are a clear demonstration of inverted values that corrode morality. He makes the point that the worship of Feliz can be attributed to a society where the pursuit of the fast buck has grasped the youth. "But the chief exponents of 'worship of easy money' are not drug traffickers like Florian, as one would think, but politicians who for decades have rubbed their irregularly obtained benefits in our faces with absolute impunity, with fortunes inflated by prevarication and theft, which could be described as the great leap from flip flops to SUVs".
