Who pays Stephen
It is only crap if you can prove it to be .. so far you are failing miserably
is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver. It will give you the means for the satisfaction of your desires, but it will not provide you with desires. Money is the scourge of the men who attempt to reverse the law of causality–the men who seek to replace the mind by seizing the products of the mind.
Go to the store an buy something. That is the means of the dollar .. for both sides to agree to what they want and both achieving it.
No look at the slave owner ( who these days is your government) .. it takes without giving what you want in return. It may payoff someone else with some crumbs of its loot to voice agreement to the act of violence but it does not validate it as a moral means of transacting
money is not sentient, money does not have arrmies at its beck and call, money does not pass legislation and regulations ... this is the act of men whom have passed on acting human ( by using money ) and opted to act as animal ( by embracing violence, theft and coercion )

His words are derived from logic, yours are so batshit insane that they would only make sense if you were paid to write them.
You've never provided proof for anything you've ever said, and nothing you say makes sense.
So are guns, but they exist for only one purpose.
Only if you have it.
Only if you have it.
Only because those who have money have made that the truth of the matter. Money is not part of nature, it is a human tool used to oppress.
That doesn't make sense in that context. This is what the wealthy do in order to obtain their means of oppression.
I don't want to buy a large portion of what I buy, I'm FORCED to give my money to people who I don't want to give it to because they own my means of survival.
*owns my government.
That would be those who have the means to do so, the wealthy, in other words.
No, but the people who have it are.
No, but the people who have money do.
No, but the people who have money pay to have politicians manipulate the government for them.
Yes, and money allows them to do that.
Edit: Damn it, accidentally hit submit instead of preview.

Not in this instance as i have shown
i have several times, just becuase you dsiagree with it does not mean you have disproved it shrug
More than that .. the provide for food, they provide for self-defence, and they provide for sport ( as we see in the Olympics )
you say that money is made by the strong at the expense of the weak? What strength do you mean? It is not the strength of guns or muscles. Wealth is the product of man’s capacity to think. Then is money made by the man who invents a motor at the expense of those who did not invent it? Is money made by the intelligent at the expense of the fools? By the able at the expense of the incompetent? By the ambitious at the expense of the lazy? Money is made–before it can be stolen. Money is made by the effort of every honest man, each to the extent of his ability. An honest man is one who knows that he can’t consume more than he has produced.’
Corporatism ( fascism ) is merely national socialism to include the legal fiction of corporations. Corporations are created by government. Anybody talking about the evils of corporations is just another beneficiary of corporate money in Politics.
as I stated , government
as so the problem is people not money ... thanks for proving my point
No the monopoly of vilence, theft and coercion possessed by government allows them to do that
