What is more powerful than god,
More devious than the devil,
Rich people need it ...
Poor people have it ....?

"Nothing"

This kind of mail has been circulating for quite some time.

and in order to get the riddle right at least, the last line to be added is: "and if you eat it you die..."

I must lead a sheltered life, it was new to me. :)

It has been circulating by mail a few weeks ago. I knew this one for a long time already. I happen to like it very much, mainly because it is the type of riddle which an adult will mostly not be able to guess, and only a chile with simple straight forward mindset, will get it right...

Sorrry about the additional line, but I got it from a Canadian--so maybe that was my problem, eh? ;)

It does fit well!

It moves companies
You can't say how things really work
Rich People(Companies) need it
Poor People like us(Baan Consultants) have it?

Just a try.Have fun.

Glad you got the hints right...

When this one first circulated in NZ (a while ago), the line was;
Rich people 'WANT' it....

But that made it really difficult, as rich people still want things... If it had said "need" instead of "want", it would have been more obvious.
