: Piper: Just as a gun is the means to murder, so money is the means to power and control. Take away a gun and it becomes harder to kill, similary if one removes money power becomes lacking.Says alot about the 'lefts' view of mankind as being controlled by materials. Rather than stem the reason for murder you wish just to make it harder? Rather than stem the motivation for acquisition you just want to make it harder?
