American Family Values?

I've been thinking how we all think we have such good values, because we're Americans or because we are Christians, or Jews or whatever it is - but I think really that Germans may have better values than we do - and that, of course, must be impossible!  But seriously, we are all so Bible-believing in our country, yet...

In our country, the people who give love and care to our very young (our promise of the future) and our very old (a precious treasury of experience and lives lived in service) are paid such low wages that they can't really support themselves at even a lower middle class lifestyle, while the people who are busy destroying our environment are paid the big bucks, from the CEOs of these corporations down to the men who operate the heavy equipment. 

Go figure
