What a concept and it sort of brings me to my next question, if this TED was played for the American Congress and Senate how many would be on board? I sometimes think senators like mitch mcconnell enjoy keeping people poor, sick and uneducated.

I think the idea of connecting prosperity to virtue came in with Protestantism. I don't know how it developed because scripture connects spirituality with poverty. It might have come about through a contempt for how people lived in Catholic southern Europe and Ireland. They were less industrious and more concerned with the joys of life than the more surly Protestants who had their extremes in Puritan thinking. The doctrine of Joel Osteen is probably the most prominent example of linking virtue and prosperity.
