Interesting article, and it's not just America under the spell, I live in the UK and money, wealth and fame are kind of hero worshipped here too.

The divide between rich and not rich is getting bigger, with many 'middle class' finding it harder to pay the bills.

The whole schooling system is setup to entrap people into valuing money over anything else! If you don't get great grades, go to university and get a high paid job then you're a failure. What a message to be engraining into our youth!

Love, caring, compassion are not valued and are often ridiculed. Money itself is not the problem but placing money above love and integrity.

Thanks for your thought provoking post.
