Is money a violation of human rights?

theinfectedmaster

Argument Topic: I think that it absolutely is.

Money violates the rights to happiness by creating anxiety in people to have more of it, it creates unintentional poverty, it keeps people who've fallen into unintentional poverty from being able to get food, it keeps people who've fallen into unintentional poverty from being able to get water, it keeps people who've fallen into unintentional poverty from being able to get clothing, and it keeps people who've fallen into unintentional poverty from being able to get housing.

Hello the:

The "lack" of money can certainly cause bad things to happen..  But, that's not the fault of money.   Money has no consciousness.  It's like falling down and blaming the concrete for being in your heads way..

Money violates the human rights to happiness.

You are in whole-truth arguing people have a human right to antidepressant medication and may be confusing the part a Registered Note plays in an economy with the roll creditors play in an economy.

A lot of your recent arguments seem to follow the same general reasoning: "X has flaw Y, therefore X is a violation of human rights / should be abolished". Would you not agree that considering advantages of X along with its flaws is crucial with respect to the validity of your conclusion? So many arguments can be made of this kind:

"Childbirth may hurt, so it is a violation of human rights."
"Spicy food burns, so it is a violation of human rights."
"Love causes painful longing, so it is a violation of human rights."
"@theinfectedmaster's comments annoy me, so they are a violation of human rights."

Would you agree with each of these arguments?

Nope.

Could you clarify why not? In what way does their logical structure appear broken to you in which the logical structure of your argument does not?

Some things can be blamed on money and other things can be blamed on Reserve Registered Notes. An economic question might be what is it that you believe the Federal Reserve Note holds back and why is the fact it holds something back placed in writing for all users of the Notes to see as witness?
