Obviously. But far more tom fuckery would result from the removal of money. That plumber isn't going to be pleased with having to accept a sack of hammers in exchange for his efforts, is he? More than likely going to engage in some form of tom fuckery as a direct result, ain't he? So it turns out money isn't the root of all evel you bleat on about, is it? More like the completely accepted unit of value society uses to allow exchanges of goods and services which is probably the single most stabilising tool humankind has invented since deciding to live in groups larger than family units, ain't it?
So by all means chuck all your money away, the rest of us are more than happy to continue living the good life that goes with modern trading systems.

More tom fuckery? Quite the opposite. The plumber will do the job because he decides that he wants to, that and because he'll realise that there's an entire economy behind him doing stuff that he requires to have done, and that he cannot do during his day i.e. food, help society, police, bricky etc... because he works as a plumber. No need to get paid for a job that he's chosen to do. So no, not even remotely likely to engage in any more tom fuckery than he normally does. And if that's all that you have to point towards money being the still stabilising thing, then yer barking mad.
The rest of you? bwaaaaaaaa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaaaaa... there's more of me![]()

There are certain behaviours that many old white people carry out, which tend to accrue value and frequently - not always - result in a financial cushion above that provided by welfare.
Not necessarily in this order of priority:
- valuing an education and acquiring one
- deferred gratification
- reasonable (not necessarily always consistent) impulse control
- deferred gratification
- marrying and staying married
- believing that one's life is determined on the basis of one's choices not on what some third-party will fund
- deferred gratification
- relatively low sense of entitlement
- learning from the results of one's poor choices
- accepting responsibility for one's destiny rather than waiting for handouts from the State or whatever fairy godmother you happen to believe in this decade
You may consider these to result in a community of bigoted a**holes. Your prerogative. But it is noticeable that when people of whatever colour and gender follow this behaviour pattern, the majority don't stay poor.
