We have got to do our best to live our lives in a way that alleviates Human suffering and does not accelerate the disparities of income And wealth. When he talks about wealth being used to serve people Not as an end in itself, I agree with that. We are the wealthiest Country in the history of the world, and if you go out on the streets And you ask people, "Did you know we're the wealthiest country in the World?" they say, "No, I work in two or three jobs, I make eight Dollars an hour, I don't know what the wealth is. I can't afford Childcare for my children." Human life, our existence, should be more Than just the accumulation of more and more. And everybody knows that Right now we have the wealth, we have the technology to provide a Decent standard of living for all of our people. We are living in a World where greed has become, for the wealthiest people, their Own religion. And they make no apologies for it. And I see in This country, people who are worth millions and millions of Dollars, pushing for policies that will make the rich richer And everybody else poorer. The children who are pushed aside The elderly who are lonely and are pushed aside. People who just Don't have enough income to survive. And that is... that is of Extraordinary importance unto itself. The worship of money The idolatry of money. That's not what human life should be about That's not what human life should be about Human life, our existence, should be more Than just the accumulation of more and more That's not what human life should be about That's not what human life should be about
