Jobs, Jobs, Jobs. Is Marx the Definition of Man?

Hearing both Jeb Bush and Donald Trump talk as well as some of the other moderate Republicans you would think that man was merely an economic animal. The promise is one of jobs, jobs, jobs. So I guess the reasoning goes that as long as a man has his materialistic needs met he will be happy. As long as he has his BMW he will be happy to drive the streets of Sodom. As long as he has a good bank account he will be smiling as he gleans the lovely gardens of Gomorrah.
