    ngl if all them multi-billioneres thier money on plenty of bread and circuses…id probably be alot merrier. 'stead they use pitances to bribe lobby politicians to hoard gild. Of course they could also just stop bleeding us dry, making everything prohibitively expensive, they could still make more money then they could spend…can only get so much blood from a turnip before it bleeds you.

    I think the vast majority of people already have this value system. The problem is the minority who hoard gold and the governmental systems which enable them.
