Is Money the Root of All Evil?

Is Money the Root of All Evil?

I'm not sure whether people believe that money is the root of all evil or whether they believe the love of money is the root of all evil. Those that believe that money has to do with evil probably don't differentiate between the two ideas. How could the tool with which man trades the results of his production to another man who is also trading the results of his production be evil? Is then production evil? It's quite apparent, at least to me, if you call the tool of trade evil, then you yourself are confused. Money is a beautiful thing when it has value. Money and wealth are the catalysts of production and creation, unfortunately through force and an evil creation called bureaucracy money has become a plaything of the unproductive. I will expand on these thoughts at a later date.
