1 Timothy 6:10. "For the love of money [that is, the greedy desire for it and the willingness to gain it unethically] is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves [through and through] with many sorrows."

Not only the politicians, but also the thinking class who love to impress people with their "knowledge" and "status" - things that money can buy. This also applies to those in lower classes who don't think they have enough.
I think those who live in the real world with some semblance of being satisfied with what they have, who have worked for what they have, are the normal ones who are not blinded by money/evil.
And Trump wants to make those “good things” in America. The Deep State wants no part of that, they lose control if people become able to take care of their own needs without government help. I do understand you want no part of that either.
Yep, they're on to the trick, being paid back in cheaper dollars. Just like my contributions to SS in 1975 dollars - they now want to pay me in 2025 dollars.
As you know, they've been scaling out of US Treasuries for a long time - if they bail, too much, too soon, they cut their own throat.
"the thinking class who love to impress people with their "knowledge" and "status" - things that money can buy."
Yes, money can buy even "knowledge" and "status." How else can you explain that a man who specializes in producing computer software is now an expert on immunizations and control of the human population? Unfortunately, we as the regular type of people make this happen. In America, or in the world for that matter, when someone manages to acquire an ungodly amount of wealth we as a people place that individual on a pedestal. Suddenly, because they are wealthy, they know everything. Their opinion counts and matters. And, for some reason, millions of people listen to them.
The only difference between a billionaire and a regular middle class joe or jane is the billionaire has a bigger microphone. They still eat, drink, sleep and shit just like the rest of us.
She is a poster child for the WEF and the AGW crowd. A child can up-stage anyone. She is disappearing because she is no longer a child and the farther we get from Gore’s stupid predictions, the less effect the AGW folks have.
Adults who felt loved as children develop self-respect.
Adults who were objectified, neglected, or abused as children have a black hole inside where their self-respect should be.
Try as they might to fill it with credentials, awards, money, power, "pleasure", they fail, and Fail, and FAIL. And so we have Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, Barry Obama, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, etc. -- see how "contented" they are?
Somebody made them that way. They have no self-respect.
I think it may be because people get tired of saying "ill-gotten gains" and want to mix things up a bit.
Also it is embedded in the oaths taken by attorneys in many jurisdictions, so the phrase has had a bit of staying power, what with thousands upon thousands declaring that they "shall do no act for malice or filthy lucre."

Ron, remember that at the upper crust the motivator is not money, it is power. Money is the key to power.
True, John, absolutely.
Capitalism's ethos: Greed is good. And advertising helps convince people to buy these good things not made in America with money they don't have.

Janos - very well said, and the little money they do have is from China buying our debt.
Which is coming to a close.

And then there's Greta Thunberg. A whole nother story!
She's a strange anomaly that cannot quite be explained.
Greta's a fucking hero when it comes to Palestine.
Why? Because she found a new grift?
She is a poster child for the WEF and the AGW crowd. A child can up-stage anyone. She is disappearing because she is no longer a child and the farther we get from Gore’s stupid predictions, the less effect the AGW folks have.
Huh?

Q would know why it is called “filthy lucre”.
I think it may be because people get tired of saying "ill-gotten gains" and want to mix things up a bit.
