If you were to build your own home on your own land and grow your own food, without running water and without electricty, it would still cost you money because the government would tax the property that you are on. Even if the property that you have built on has been in your family since the British first started settling here, the government will tax the shit out of you so that they can have more money to spend on their own quazi-KGB style government and associated organizations. No wonder people have a hard time donating to charities, because once they have their hard-earned money, taxes are taken out of it, and then they have to buy food, buy clothing, pay for their shelter and their utilities and anything else that life may require of them. It is hard for people in today's society to maintain healthy and stable relationships with those that they love and care about because they are concerned about where their next meal is going to come from or if they're going to be living in their house next month. That is the truth in today's society.
People kill for money.
Money is wrong. I don't know. The value of your life and your social status should not be based on how many pieces of paper with dead president's faces that you have in the bank or in you wallet, but on what you have accomplished for yourself and what good you have done for others. I don't know. Until we have solved that problem, we are all forced to use the system that was devised so long ago, and I personally believe to be outdated.
