I saw this thing on pbs where this expert economist was saying that there is a group of landowners who own regions covering different states and owning conglomerate companies that is really calling the shots in wallstreet and washington dc.It makes sense in a way because american policy seems completely incompetent serving the people and providing world peace, instead its like capitalism to the extreme degree where profits are the only thing.

We should be...
However, everything we do relates to money--
We judge other people and ourselves on how we acquire and spend money...

Which country are you referring to? This site is accessed by people in many countries around the world. In many other countries, Americans are seen as arrogantly thinking that they are the only country that matters, in much the same way as the wealthy landowners you are referring to probably see themselves as the only Americans that matter.
A timely reminder to us all (including myself even though I'm not American) to be careful with our language to avoid inadvertant offence.
