I disagree.

Money IS the problem. Money is what CREATES most of the evil we see in the world today.

When you can't spend time with your kids, because you have to work, does that make you evil?
When you can't send them to college, because its too expensive, does that make you evil?
Of course you're not evil, you just are incentivized to trade time with your kids for money...because we need money for everything.
When your kids ask you why you can't stay home to spend time with them, do you tell them, "I have to make money." or do you tell them "I'm evil."?

You tell them you have to make money. It stands between you and your loved ones. From about 45000 years ago to about 3000 years ago, money did not stand between people and their loved ones. Sure, survival did, but then again, they didn't have the technology that we have.

I'm not saying that the origination of money is the problem. My point is that it is OUTDATED. We have insane technology today that we can't use, because its not profitable.

Look at green energy...this is obviously the correct way for mankind to go, yet we have been pussyfooting around it for over 10 years! It's not because anyone is evil, its because too many people would lose too much money if we no longer relied on oil.

MONEY is the problem. Not that it always has been, but it always will be.
