They simply do not have that value system, giving Americans the same quality of life that other modern countries have.

In a destructive capitalistic society, making money is the main goal. People are necessary evils and only seen as a labor force to exploit as much as possible.

People are not seen as valuable resources.

When in reality, the most valuable resources we have are humans and the planet they live on.
