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
