Money, despite what Pink Floyd had to say on the subject, is not the root of all evil today. Capital is. It's that distinction that Marx makes between industrial and and financial capitalism.

I understand what you are saying about the system discrediting itself, but I think that there among the people at the top in the United States, neo-liberalism has become nothing short of a religion.

Even people who spout the rhetoric of change, aka the incoming president, are agents of the status quo. Obama is talking about cutting public pensions and healthcare, that hardly strikes me as the sort of change that we need.
