From a behaviorist model, the sexual drive. The latter fuels greed as higher wealth produces higher social standing and therefore a larger number of mating partners. It all goes downhill from there.

Not money, because money is simply a tool... but the love of money.

Besides the obvious answers, jews and money. I'd have to say women. They've fucked me over more than anything I've ever experienced. Yes, even more than niggers, muzzies, or hard drugs.

Money, and/or greed. But money causes greed, so it's money.

I'd like to think that greed existed before currency did. You could have greed over possessions and resources.

That's true, but I think money just enhances the natural tendency for people to be greedy, thus creating a feedback loop of money to the rich.

It's the human condition. There is no singular root other than that of cognitive thought of self.
