money grubbing scum

A phrase originally coined by David Lettereman, during the writers' strike in the late 80s. He was referring to the T.V. and movie companies that refused to accept the writers guild's offer.

Today, there are many other instances of money grubbing scum causing problems for working people. Big businesses so often putting profits before the interests of people.

A common example: A big corporation moved their factory to China, eliminating 1000s of American jobs, the money grubbing scum C.E.O. received a huge bonus.

Money grubbing scum is destroying the American dream for many working people, by eliminating good paying jobs and weakening unions.

Also, Wal-mart is one of the worst cases of money grubbing scum in the history of retail! Those heartless anti-American bastards are one of China's top 5 customers!

Money Goggles

Money Goggles are what's make the hottest of chicks sleep with the douchiest, ugly, assholes, that have ever walked the earth. Money goggles are often times worn by female with no self respect and would sleep with or date a guy just based off that fact that he has money and may be giving it to her based off the fact that they're together.

Another side affect of money goggles is popularity/fame goggles, that make the ugliest men look good(see Gucci Mane, Pete Wentz, or Lil Wayne). Money or fame goggles blur a woman's sense of reality, when she only she's fame and fortune, it doesn't matter is the guy is ugly, or a douche, or both

Guy: Is that Ciara with Bryan?
Girl: Yeah he's an ugly douche, she's just dating him because he has money and he's popular.
Guy: Wow, Money Goggles would make a chick do anything.
Girl: Tell me about it
