Karl Marx on Money
"I am ugly, but I can buy the most beautiful woman for myself. Consequently I am not ugly, for the effect of ugliness, its power to repel, is annulled by money. . . . [Money] transforms real human and natural faculties into mere abstract representations, i.e. imperfections and tormenting chimeras; and on the other hand, it transforms real imperfections and fancies, faculties which are really impotent and which exist only in the individual's imagination, into real faculties and powers. In this respect, therefore, money is the general inversion of individualities, turning them into their opposites and associating contradictory qualities with their qualities."

RED DAVE is NOT Ayn Rand. He is really Anne Coulter...
~Money can't buy happiness...but you can be miserable in comfort~ |
