Some also believe that humans are an invasive species that need to be annihilated. This podcast is an attempt to bring some balanced thinking to an area prone to extremism. 

When capitalism is corrupted socialism becomes more attractive. Today many young people in western countries are much more open to socialism (especially when the promise of student debt in thrown into the mix).  Guaranteed health care , livable wages . housing  , food and whatever other needs people may have sounds very appealing. But ultimately  this is a seduction that no socialistic system of government has ever been able to completely deliver.  

This podcast highlights 3 corrupting influences on capitalism. Plutocracy , the debt economy , and consumerism are highlighted. Finally, there are good  choices that individuals  and  families  can make to create their own economic well being to overcome these corrupting influences.  

Victimism is a scourge in our culture whereby individuals and groups claim victimhood to gain power, control or to perpetuate deviant behavior. Our world is full of victims who live by the SEF moto. SEF  is Somebody Else's Fault . As long as the ills in society and in our personal lives are someone else's fault there is no need or urgency to change. There is, however, a better way. 

Elitism is a mindset of a group of people who by virtue of their social standing believe they  are supremely qualified to run the lives of those beneath them.  Being from a certain family , education, wealth, positions of power and influence are seen as qualifiers to this social standing.  These qualifiers do not necessarily make one an elitist. Elitism is a character flaw. The cure for elitism is genuine servant leadership.

Sloth is a condition of perpetual laziness. A sloth is the sluggard who is unwilling to do the required effort  to start a task , complete a task , or to pay attention to doing the details the task requires. The opposite of sloth is diligent productivity.

Gluttony is greedily taking the desire for food to an excess.  Obesity and food addictions are the obvious consequences of the sin. Many experience gluttony as a result of using food as a source of comfort or to deal with boredom. The alternative to gluttony is celebrating and consuming good food; a feat not easily attained in our fast food culture.
