Do progressives have a website like famousidiots.com?
Or do we, as a more civilized society choose to not take part in this rubbish?

2. retort to Rand quote
honest labor is the root of honest money.

we need honest labor, but it doesnt have to be converted into money.

That's the unseen error in Rand's sentence.

evil converges with money, when greedheads steal it. Money makes theft of massive amounts of labor easy.

One can steal honest labor only a minute at a time, when it is left in the form of "honest labor by a slave."
{and slavery comes in many degrees}.

A society without money, is one in which evil is less possible, more difficult, more obvious.

Many tribal societies give ideas as to how we urbanites might set up a money-free urban society.

Money is truly the root of all evil, and Ayn Rand errs again.
In atlas shrugged, she saw the titans of industry as supporting all us peons, like Atlas shouldering a rock.
Reality is the reverse. Just look at the Society Page, and see who parties all week long.

Love people, not money.
