It suits us

We like the United States. We love the United States.
We love the idea that you can be rich and successful and buy nice things.
That you can hustle and struggle and push and claw your way to the top.

And that the peasants have to watch you and admire you.
And the peasants have to respect you: It's America

That's what America is and what the world is becoming: The money game.

But it has long surpassed being merely a game. It is as much a game as war. In fact wars are fought for money these days. Money is our reason to wake up and our reason to get married and our reason to like ourselves and our reason to like our country and our reason to live.

That is what I believe. Money is what we live for.
