This is a statement as produced by a consciousness that believes that ALL humans are willing to violate their values for money. This is common in materialist paradigms or people stuck in Spiral Dynamics Red Level.
This is, of course not "Truth", nor is it true for many people who have evolved out of these earlier levels. Those stuck in early stages of psychological evolution often trot it around to influence others by asking them to subvert their true path for money.
This tends to resonate with people that are also stuck on earlier levels of psychological evolution. Those that have evolved past that and have a clear understanding that true happiness comes from serving their values and not their egotistical or fearful desire for Federal Reserve Notes will reject this out of hand.

In any case, OP wasn't claiming that "everyone has a price", he was asking for examples where someone did have a price, so your comment doesn't even apply.

- davebryand 8y agoGood point. The "price" one would be willing to exchange for their integrity might be acquisition of power, fame or some other five-sense "prize".
