This isn’t greed, exactly. It’s a stunningly cruel and heartless ‘me-ism’ that borders on psychopathy.
To be fair, though, America in other respects has been astoundingly generous throughout much of its history. Private citizens in the US donate more to charity than anyone else, and the US is always among the first to step up when disaster strikes.
