Word of the Day: Mammon

As defined by the OED, mammon is the biblical term that implies the corrupting and injust influence of wealth and the pursuit thereof, usually the result of the work of satan. As in, "The Republican Party is the party of mammon." Or, "the redistribution of wealth from poor to rich is the work of mammon."

I like the possibilities for a good slogan here.
