7. I think it is because the American populace (me included for a

short time) has been sold lock stock and barrel the American Dream, which has been recreated to emphasize wealth attainment as a sign of status/success/ reason for adoration (insert whatever), without any regards to HOW that wealth was attained (much of which was immoral, unethical and un Christian). In other words, We as a nation, have been manipulated in serving our master of money and not of God!

I guess the question would be, why do Americans value wealth more than morals that would prohibit that same accumulation of wealth? It's because we have been manipulated into believing that Wealth = GOOD, period!
