Money or Poverty : Which is the root of evil?

There's a popular saying religiously that money is the root of all evil. But personally, I don't buy that assessment. I feel that it's poverty that's the root of all evil. Poverty is what drags you into evil in order to make money and get out of it.

What are your thoughts?
Money is the root of all evil.
 
I would never have anything to do with poverty. Poverty is a curse, I've never seen anyone who's sane and reasonable that it very comfortable with being poor and suffering.
 
Many who are in poverty didn't choose it. Some are in it due to bad decisions, drugs, mental health issues.
Money is not evil, it's how we choose to spend it that can make it so.

In the world where human purchasing power lies in money, how can someone tag money to be evil? It doesn't make any sense at all but I don't blame some persons for having their own awkward opinion.
