While the values of Bush era America wasn’t better in every way , they were better in most and arguably overall the 2000s were the peak decade when it comes to American values .

Nah, the 2000s were awful. The best era was the mid 2010s, when gay marriage was accepted but before the Trump-ification of politics.
I’m pretty sure that gay marriage is more commonly accepted now than it was in 2015

According to the poll, the following are considered "very important" by more people than money:

1. hard work (67%)
2. tolerance for others (58%)
3. self-fulfillment (53%)
4. belief in God (48%)

These are all somewhat individualistic in one way or another - note how "belief in God" is significantly higher than "religion" - but people find other things more important than acquisitiveness. 

"Hard work" being so high isn't something I would have guessed.

My pastor said Christ didn't value money because you can't take it with you in the next life it's passed down, non of the prophets were rich Buddha, Moses, or Christ but Pharoahs and Hebrew Queens were rich and had slaves

We also pay pastors 50/100 K but Salvation Army priest get a salary but it's low but they get beneficial housing where other Pastors don't

We all want to win 50o M but 25 K is probably gonna be it that's why you should try for a game show as well as play the lottery so you can be middle class as well as wealthy

Ill take the 90s over the 00s any day. But yes the 00s were betrer than the 10s which were betrer than the 20s.
90s was still pre terror paranoia and travel was more pleasant. 00s saw too much government expansion in the name of "anti terrorism". And 10s just went off the deep end with the extreme libertine views taking hold so strongly thanks to social media brainwashing everyone.

I don't like the value placed on greed, but this strikes me more as money being equivalent to "survival." Not "greed."
