So much of our troubles come from the fact that people act like money is the only legitimate power (it’s my money I can do whatever I want). When in fact people acting in a cooperative effort such as unions or governments are just as valid especially considering money derives it’s value from society (without anyone to buy, sell, or employ money becomes meaningless). We need to bring a balance that allows general freedom of spending without destructive spending against society.

We often say people should be more important than money. We need to make choices that reflect that.
