That's false, since money is a recent invention. It's like saying "Cats need Whiskas to live".

Even if it were true, so what? If someone needs money to live, how does that imply that money should be taken from those who have it and be given to those who don't?

You might need positive attention to feel good about yourself (since you're ugly). Does that mean that the attention beautiful people receive should be directed towards ugly people (by mutilating beautiful people)?

Because those who have it did not create it in a vacuum. And after all, there is nothing but a mutual agreement that those who do not have won't take it from those who have, and that agreement includes whatever welfare said society has.
