You blaming us? Money is what motivates this country. It's always about money- the economy, stock market, property, investments, high paying jobs. Our political leaders demand high pay, some religious leaders horde money, CEOs of some charities corrupt. Money money money. Everything else is secondary. Why teach our kids other things if they only grow up to be just like us in this money minded environment?
But I disagree with you that we act like animals if we're money minded. It's just pragmatism.
From the tone of your message and the words you choose, you sound a little uncouth too, criticizing on your high horse, trying to sound like a person with values, but in fact just like the rest of us.
