Money

Nice, concur on almost all accounts.

It's always struck me, "as theft" that wealth is allowed to accumulate to such grotesque heights. Concentration of wealth - and the resulting diminishment of the middle class - has been one of the biggest ideological "thorns in my side" of the way my country operates, economically.

Good stuff, let's go change it all!

I completely agree. And I know that a lot of people around where I live who win the lottery and become millionaires end up spending it all and are forced to live in the streets because they quit their job. How does anybody spend 20mil, and not keep track of it?!

I used to dream too. But that was about one geological era ago.
Having money is not only a boon but also a burden. It gets in the way of becoming a better person.
The greatest I would ask is being delivered from worry. But perhaps even that is a decadent thing to ask.

Anything more is just fluff.

money is the creation that screwed humanity over

Money is an important part of society. It enables us to specialize and allows time for useful things like philosophy. Economic systems are useful. The problem is that economic systems can distort value and become separate from what they are intended, which is to simplify and facilitate resource distribution. I am well pleased that I can have salt even though I don't have to produce it myself. The perversion of monetary systems happens from greed and immorality.

I for one agree something is horribly wrong when economics allow some to have so much power and material things and others are forced to exist in some sort of real world hell for lack of the necessities.

Personally I feel that we should move to establish a quality of life economy, a system that is sort of a mix of capitalism and socialism. A system that still rewards risk and hard work but sets a level of wealth that no one goes beyond and likewise a minimum quality of life that takes steps to ensure no one (or as few as possible) slip below. It diminishes us all to have others be deformed mentally and physically by lack of necessities. And I don't mean just some hand out welfare system. We can come up with a system that allows people to have the dignity they deserve by ensuring that they contribute on some level. But this would require a paradigm shift of immense proportions.

Sometimes money is such a fog. Those who control most if, lead us any way they choose. Unfortunately, What does a person want, who has more money then they care to count. Power. The domination of others. Who are these people? Maybe some of you have heard of them, but most haven't. And thats the way they want it. Secrecy, at such high levels of power almost insures these people to run the world in which they see fit. Good for them, Bad for you.

This is an incorrect assertion/assumption; it must be 'hyperbole'.
