I don't think explaining the cliche really political if one understands the full context where it is derived from and the overall message.

It is actually a Christian teaching from the bible where it says the love of money can create the will to deceive, cheat, hoard and employ criminal activity to extort and deprive others. It is found in Timothy. But a person has to read much more than just 6:10 to gather the full meaning.

It speaks to the fact, that if the financial well being of the masses are being unjustly exploited to the point that many are left with nothing. The society including the financial system will inevitably suffer collapse.
Having a great pile of cash is useless. If all others are in such poor degraded condition they have nothing with which can produce products to buy. The system becomes stagnant and collapses from within.

Understanding the passage in proper form describes what sets the stage for eventual financial collapse. You might say a prerequisite for (Teotwawki.) The heading on this Thread.
