Paul Lance: Americans Love Money More Than Their Fellow Americans!

May 25, 2026 | Americans love to say “God Bless America” while worshipping money like it’s the real national religion. The last election exposed something ugly about this country: millions of people will tolerate cruelty, racism, concentration camps, families losing healthcare, farms collapsing, and endless suffering — as long as their taxes stay low and their stock portfolio looks okay.

We watched people get racially profiled. We watched immigrants dehumanized. We watched bombs hit schools in Iran. We watched Americans lose healthcare while corporations made record profits. And most people shrugged because sacrifice might hurt their personal comfort.

This country constantly talks about “freedom” and “Christian values,” but where is the humanity? Where is the empathy? Americans say “In God We Trust,” but the truth is it’s “In Money We Trust.” Profit has become more sacred than human life.

Both political parties helped create this culture of greed and individualism, but MAGA took it to another level by turning selfishness into patriotism. “Are YOU better off?” became more important than “Are WE better off?” That mindset is rotting this country from the inside out.

Until Americans care more about human beings than money, this country will keep collapsing morally, spiritually, and economically.



I beg your forgiveness, but it must be said: In this day and age, America is the source of all evil. It seems that almost all bad ideas originate there.

Ich bitte Euch um Verzeihung, aber es muss gesagt werden: In der heutigen Zeit ist Amerika ist die Quelle allen Übels. Scheinbar kommen fast alle schlechten Ideen von dort.

Je vous prie de m'excuser, mais il faut le dire : de nos jours, l'Amérique est la source de tous les maux. Il semble que la quasi-totalité des mauvaises idées y prennent naissance. — © Mark Alexander

Money, Happiness and Eternal Life - Greed (Director's Cut) | DW Documentary

Jun 24, 2017 • Can money and power ever make us happy? How much is enough? Our constant desire for more is part of our human nature.

Some call it a useful dowry of evolution, others a fault in the human genetic make-up: The old mortal sin Greed seems to be more ubiquitous than ever. Why can't people ever get enough, where is this self-indulgence leading - and are there any ways out of this vicious circle of gratification?

"People like to have a lot of stuff because it makes them the feeling of living forever," says American social psychologist Sheldon Solomon, who believes today's materialism and consumerism will have disastrous consequences.

Anyone who fails to satisfy his or her desires in this age of the Ego is deemed a loser. But with more than 7 billion people on the Earth, the ramifications of this excessive consumption of resources are already clear. Isn’t the deplorable state of our planet proof enough that "The Greed Program," which has made us crave possessions, status and power, is coming to an end? Or is the frenzied search for more and more still an indispensable part of our nature? We set off to look for the essence of greed. And we tell the stories of people who - whether as perpetrators or victims or even just as willing consumers - have become accomplices in a sea change in values.

Sarah Palin Is Resigning Over Money, Says Levi Johnston

THE TELEGRAPH: The teenage father of Sarah Palin's grandson has claimed she is resigning because she wants to make money.

Levi Johnston, 19, whose wedding to Bristol Palin, 18, was called off earlier this year, says he believes the governor is resigning over personal finances.

Mr Johnston says he lived with the Palin family from early December to the second week in January. He claims he heard the governor several times say how nice it would be to take advantage of the lucrative deals that were being offered, including a reality show and a book.

"I think the big deal was the book. That was millions of dollars," said Mr Johnston, who has had a strained relationship with the family but now says things have improved. >>> | Friday, July 10, 2009

End to Travel and Money Ban as Barack Obama Opens Up to Cuba

TIMESONLINE: President Obama yesterday loosened the American embargo against Cuba by lifting curbs on family travel and money transfers, as well as allowing US telecommunications companies to operate on the island for the first time in almost half a century.

The announcement, made only days before Mr Obama travels to Trinidad for a Summit of the Americas, represents a significant crack in the hardline policy adopted by Washington since the Communist revolution in Cuba in 1959.

Although the US trade embargo has been left largely intact, the White House indicated that it would consider further measures including the introduction of direct commercial flights if Havana responded by expanding democratic rights.

“President Obama has directed that a series of steps be taken to reach out to the Cuban people to support their desire to enjoy basic human rights and to freely determine their country’s future,” Robert Gibbs, a spokesman for the White House said. >>> Tom Baldwin in Washington | Tuesday, April 14, 2009

Crisis in the Money Markets

THE SUNDAY TIMES: LEADING bankers are warning of the worst crisis in the money markets for 20 years, which will come to a head this week when $113 billion (£57 billion) of commercial paper – market IOUs – comes up for refinancing.

This huge refinancing, mainly through London, exceeds the $100 billion that became due in mid-August, and which sparked the most serious phase in the money-market crisis, which has seen banks scrambling for funds and market interest rates rising sharply. “This is a serious pressure point,” said one leading banker.

Another senior executive of one of Britain’s top five retail banks said: “These are the worst conditions I have seen in money markets for 20 years”. Worst crisis for 20 years, say banks (more) By David Smith and John Waples
