Money is only materialistic. The root of all money is humanity. The one's who make unethical choices and rash decisions are usually people who have no moral values. Greed is what gave money its 'evil' roots and people are the ones who show greed. Just look at our nation in an economic crisis which was caused by a few individuals whose greed got the best of them. This comment is not made from a 'pointing fingers' perspective but from a perspective on how individuals who have malicious intentions of financial gain can affect society as a whole.
