If (legitimately earned) money is how society compensates people for providing things we value, why wouldn't influence (what you call "power"?) come along with it?
If you are concerned about "power" being used to violate the rights of people without it, there are systems of law which criminalize such acts without preventing individuals from earning more money (i.e. possibly expanding the "wealth gap").
There are two kinds of corrupt societies: ones where people get rich and then seize power, and ones where people seize power and then get rich; and while both are bad, it's _much_ more dangerous to be the second kind (power leads to money) than the first (money leads to power).
