Free yourself! Seriously.
Go back to thinking the way you did when you were young and innocent and 5 pennies was a fair trade for a bite of a friend's candy bar or a good-as-you-could sidewalk sweeping. Money is nothing but a marker for goods and services. It's purely honest to trade goods and services voluntarily. It's purely evile to take them by force or fraud.
Most of our money (yes, ours! the markers that would be worthless if we all didn't provide goods and services to give them meaning and value) change hands by force or fraud. Half go to taxes (force) or mandated spending, like vehicle safety features that you wouldn't voluntarily choose over 40MPG or inflated insureance fees to cover forced drug treatment. Plenty more goes to fraud of various stripe (eat Prozac, and it'll make the fucked up world seem really rather nice!).
That's evil. But it's not the money that's evil. It's the method of exchange. May you become wealthy beyond your hopes purely by trying your own standards and ethics.
I've known a couple of really decent head shrinkers too. Don't know how they voted, though. I just answered their phones when they went home for the day. All I really knew was how much they cared about checking their messages, whether or not they called back and whether or not their patients trusted them.
The strength of the Constitution lies entirely in the determination of each citizen to defend it. Only if every single citizen feels duty bound to do his share in this defense are constitutional rights secure.
