Money is only good for buying stuff. People are much, much more valuable.

Most people choose money, Its similar to choosing Junk food over health food. Junk food is choosing money over people in this sense, sure you will have fun, but you will destroy yourself, and nation in the process. Health food is better,you get everything you need to last, in the case of people your nation stays healthy.
