Is Money the root of All Evil? (Ayn Rand)

[AGCoinHunter]

Worth watching.

[Lemon Thrower]

bible says its the love of money

[Neckro]

You can love money. And still be a great person for society. Being rich or poor doesn't dictate how a person will react or treat those in life

[Delawhere Jack]

FIAT money is the root of all weasels.

What a bunch of crap.

Money is a tool of exchange which can't exist unless there are good produce and man to produce them.

This sentence imply ipso facto that you are free to use the tools or not, but you're not free, money is forced at gunpoint (law/legal tender/taxes/..) upon it's citizen by a government who out gun the citizen. Very free trade indeed...

When you accept money in payment for your effort only on the conviction that you will exchange it for the products of the efforts of others.

Same as the above less inflation that are again forced upon you.

Those piece of paper which should have been gold are a token of honor, you're claim upon the energy of the man who produce.

That need a explanation ? It should be true that but we know it is not.

You're wallet is you're statement of hope that somewhere in the world around you there are men who will not default on that moral principle which is the root of money.

Hope there is moral ? common isn't the 1800 here, people don't kill themselves to save their honor because they have failed to paid back a bank anymore. That was the case when the country constitution was created, and the entire democracy depend on it. But we aren't fool there is no moral anymore. The captain isn't the last one to leave the boat, it's usually the first one with a golden parachute...

And it goes on and on....
