Money is the root of good or evil?

The conflict cloud:

Conflict cloud derived from the following debate points:

Money is Evil because:

Wonders why people like to make things so complicated, the only reason we have money is so that Evil people can use it against you.

Good people have no need for money, we use Acceptance for Value. Meaning I accept your skill set and the time you contribute towards providing that to me as valuable.

Rewards come in the form of pleasure, not pieces of paper. What is wrong with people?

Look at what Money has done for us in the past 12000 years, case closed.

Money is Good because:

Money is simply a mean’s of value exchange.

The problem of money mis-management, corruption, and slavery only comes from political-backed force, fraud or coercion.

Whatever you want to call the system of time-binding value exchange (money or ‘acceptance of value’, it will be manipulated by the powers that be… IF the right to one’s own property is not upheld. 

The problem is not what label we put on this tool of value exchange. The problem is the socialist usurpation of individual rights. Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand and Human Action by Ludwig von Mises (available free online here http://mises.org/resources/3250).

Case wide open – given its pivotal importance in humanity’s survival over the next decade. The financial system collapse and theft of our standard of living is due to a lack of adhering to the principle nature of money. That you can’t print it out of thin air. That it must be backed by genuine assets. I.e. property or something that both parties consider an exchange of value.

But the EU would be very happy with getting rid of money in place for ‘acceptance of value’ because whilst ‘value’ is not absolute (‘value’ is open to interpretation), money is an absolute (i.e. genuine money backed by commodities, e.g. gold).

The elimination of individual property rights would finalise their agenda of eugenicist elite control over the mass of lowly consumers (i.e. us)

Money is to individual rights as ‘each according to his need’ is to communism.

Did I mention Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? And Human Action by Ludwig von Mises (available free online herehttp://mises.org/resources/3250).
