Money is the root of all evil is just a dogwhistle about usury and jews. It's like that phrase about look who you're not allowed to criticize to see who rules.
It's just a hint that a certain people are evil and what enables them.
Edit: I agree that it doesn't buy happiness though.
LOVE of money is the root of all evil.
IGNORANCE of money is the root of all modern slavery.
Ignorance of DEBT/CREDIT systems. It should be taught in high school, it isn't.
