This is an excellent article!! ~ Molly
Many of you aren't religious, so please forgive me for recalling
my roots as a preacher and starting us off with a simple verse of scripture.
"The love of money is the
root of all kinds of evil."
- 1 Timothy 6:10, The New
Testament of the Bible
While
my practice and devotion to religion has waxed and waned across the past few
years, I still very much believe that verse is true. When you find evil in the
world, when you find corruption, when you find starvation and exploitation,
when you find poverty and despair, when you find drugs, guns, and substandard
housing, when you find evil — if you dig far enough, you will often discover
the love of money at the root. Underneath so much of what is wrong in this
country is the deep love of money and all that it brings.
Sometimes the
connection is obvious and undeniable - other times not so much, but like the
huge glacier underneath the still water, it is there.
Right
now, the Democratic Party, which I have called home my entire life, is deeply
in love with money. Consequently, its leaders have supported and advanced all
kinds of evil, big and small, in devotion to this love affair.
