Your absolute rights end when they encounter another person.

As society, we've decided peoples individual rights can/should be curtailed when they harm others. We will never agree on definition of "harm". But, certainly money can be used for harm. From I pay someone to kill you, to I donate money to group government has labeled "terrorist", to we made profit polluting environment, etc.



Yes words can be used for harm too, and there's very strict rules for how the government can regulate and investigate speech. I'm saying the same should be true for money.
