But that's wrong. These two quotes contradict each other:
"s/money/goods and services"
"It's easy to forget that money is the reference and the reference is
not an object."
There is still the "Actually, all goods and services come from the
government...Try producing your own goods and services." quote, which
is only true in extreme dictatorships...
