Synopsis

,The main factor precipitating our economic woes has been the gradual shifting of our values, once favoring the supreme sanctity of individual rights, but presently overshadowed by the now dominant force of money. This situation was foreseen by our founding fathers, who warned against the dangers of wealth overriding principles, but nevertheless, we lay all of our hopes and prayers upon the altar of the stock exchange. Despite our present extreme dependence upon money even for survival, we must not allow our lives to be ruled by it. By compromising these values, we are waiving our rights to dispute exploitive actions from a moral perspective, as well as forfeiting a common trust.
