Materialism is the new religion. The corporation is the new Church complete with hierarchical power structures. As with most religions, people are incredibly motivated by it and think anyone who doesn't believe in it should. The richest are glorified, government exists to serve them. Used to be we called them robber barons and passed laws against their consolidation of power, now we just want to be like them. And as the competition for money gets ever more intense, the people who don't want to have any part of it end up getting dragged along because we still have to pay for stuff to survive.
