The fact that anyone was ever poor should be an affront to anyone who believes that money is real.

Using "real" in this context is confusing; yes, money is a social construction - a real one. You can also have fictional social constructs (SF works often describe some).

Are you using "real" to mean "natural" (as in "natural rights")?
