money and morals,can both work together?

I believe that they can work together as long as you know how to distinguish the difference between right and wrong in you business dealings as well as morality issues.

Corruption couldn't exist without values. Furthermore values are often concieved through corruption.  Unless people were utterly apathetic, which they are not, there wouldn't be values; corruption serves as a caution to reinforce values.  You may also add that humans are by and large not masachistic; that human nature would not allow corruption to direct a detramental  relationship between corruption and basic values of life.

It is true, money is the dirtiest thing on earth, and that would be a good idea for a terriorst plot. However I have yet to change my hygine habbits due to money. Germs are every where, and if you have to start worring about such a thing you can send your money to me if it helps, I will gladly take it. :)

Politics and Morality are both relative terms.\nUnfortunately for us, they both happen to be totally unrelated to each other !

If you have to lie, then it probably is not worth it.  plus whatever it is you lied about to get the money for will make it all loose meaning.  Don't put numeric over morality,

Your question is more about morals and ethics, as opposed to money, my friend. Yes, money certainly helps. But is it worth it if you cannot sleep at night knowing that you did not earn that money honestly? Additionally, what if you do get caught? Now, your family will have no father/husband and they will be worse off than when you started. I say, there is too much at stake if you do it, you can manage without it. Greed is an ugly face to show, it's not very becoming.\nGood luck with your decision.

I think you make some interesting points - words definitely have limitations for the definer and the interpretter.  Its always a rhetoric game and only real thieves hide behind definitions to justify their actions.  As for morality - this is not a truth - it is a social norm - and each society determines what is or isn't moral based on their level of consciousness.  As long as we are trapped in words - we are limiting our consciousness.

It was spoken about people who love money more than god. For them the money comes between them and God. It's fine to have riches on earth as long as they are not your first love.

Hah!  I love what punk*rocker* said.  It's true...you can have all the money you could ever want, but still be unhappy.  People all clamoring to get some of that money, you'd have to decide what to do with it, and all those other inconveniences with having lots of riches.  Eternity with Jesus however, is just that.  There are no catches all over; it's simply yet profoundly refreshing and blissful.

To flesh out the metaphor here ... money may be the root of evil, but it still has to be watered and weeded and whatnot before it turns into a BIG EVIL PLANT!  In a good person's garden, the root may stay just that, a root, under the ground and not becoming anything to be concerned about.  \n\npotential and reality are two different things.  just because money encourages evil doesn't mean everyone will make those kinds of nasty choices with it.  some will, some won't.

The love of money is the root of all evil.\n\nNot money itself, but the LOVE or GREED of it.\n\nA person cannot truly be happy in life, if their focus is on "getting" more money.\n\nWe should earn to live, not live to earn.

Moral paradox! (the worst kind)\nOf course, you find a way to save the hundreds of thousands without sacrificing the hundreds.

For some, sure it is!  It's an easy way to get what they want and all the money in the world.  For others it isn't, it has nothing to do with money or power but their belief system.
