Everyone who works wants money.

If I read your comment with extreme charity, I think that sentiment boils down to the fact that everyone needs money to continue having food, shelter, and medical care. If I read your comment mildly charitably, it would reduce to a tautology: everyone who works for money wants money. If I read it uncharitably, meaning anyone who does sustained, hard, taxing work wants money, I would argue it's easily disproven since people do incredibly hard work as volunteers. It baffles me that tech titans rail against government and academia, and think everyone has a single-minded desire for money, when the Internet (gov't), the World Wide Web (academia), and Linux and a slew of open-source software (volunteer) powers our lives.
