In order to consider the common good as a priority you have to place something beyond your own self. Placing something or someone else ahead of your own self-interest means doing the right thing for the right reasons. $$$ is always about self-interest. There is moral worth in looking toward the common good. There is no moral worth to acting out of self interest.
We really are all in this together and everything is connected. An injury to one truly is an injury to all. We are headed to a disastrous outcome - we cannot change others only ourselves - can't do that without visiting the past time to take a look at it all - nothing is what it seems. FOLLOW THE MONEY
