Wealth is weird because it sticks to you like glue. Lets say you spent $1M on a McLaren F1 that's now worth $2M. You buy a nice $15K diamond for you wife that's now worth $30K. You buy a nice painting for $100K that is now worth $500K. You buy a house for $12M that is now worth $19M. You just can't get rid of it! The more you spent on nice things the more you make! Like that movie Brewster's Millions.

Huh? You can't get rid of human greed, I'll agree with that. But you can fight for anti monopoly laws that can keep things in check. 

That was a very stupid statement. All you said was some humans are greedy, and I agree with that. But that does not mean those whom are not should bend over to greed. 

There will ALWAYS be WORLDWIDE humans whom chase a buck, nobody should doubt, and nobody sane is arguing that. But to say that happens means we should not do anything about it, or challenge it is absurd.

The richest in the world, friend and foe alike, still die like the poor.

Just because greed is present in most humans . Does not mean it should be normalized .

Indeed an enlightened country is far more advanced , safer , cleaner and less violent . And the rate of personnel satisfaction tends to be higher .

I wish I could tolerate cold weather, I'd be out of here in a heartbeat.

Probably not so much colder than where I'm from, doubt they'd take me and I don't have the funds to move.

Couldn't have said it better myself other than many, I would not argue most. I would say most greedy seek power, I would not say that most humans are greedy though.
