"at variance" appears twice in the KJV

OT
Sir.8[2] Be not at variance with a rich man, lest he overweigh thee: for gold hath destroyed many, and perverted the hearts of kings.

NT
Matt.10[35] For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
--------------------------------------------------
at variance = at odds
The OT verse is Solomon and the NT verse is red letter.

Questions:

What conclusions, if any, can be drawn from each of the verses individually and together as a whole message?  Was the OT verse about plutocracies and the NT verse about the overturning of plutocrats, as seen with Jesus and money changers (authority) in the temple?

If so, can parallels be drawn between independence movements throughout history to date with "Occupy?"

Will democracy prevail or will plutocrats continue to establish laws which amount to "money talks, bullshit walks" while sending sons and daughters to die or be maimed in war with no aid from the very plutocrats who sent them so that we get what we have today in America where America wants it: America gets it!?

What does America get?  What do you get but being at odds (at variance) with everybody and everything, congressional gridlock over taxes for the richest 1% when 46% of congressional members are millionaires and a poke in the eye for the 99% occupying!

"Whether 'tis nobler in mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles and by opposing, end them."
