Love of money is the root of all evil.
But all Americans are taught to be irrational about money.
So all our brains grow old together.

This doesn't surprise me.
Constant anxiety about bills and repossessions is crippling.
Does the same pattern hold if they get relief?
Americans are socialized to obsess about money and our political system is Obsessed about it too.

More than anything it is being poor and excluded...if you grow up in a very poor neighborhood and no one has much of anything, the pain of not belonging isn't so powerful. I grew up in rural CT in the middle of the last century and lived until second grade in a cabin that had no running water...it had an outhouse. But no one had a tv, and everyone could afford a radio....

Poverty can oppress, demoralize,, crush and destroy. Something else it often does is provide the fuel that drives revolutions.
