Do you think the average American politician is more greedy than: a Saudi politician, a Russian politician, a British empire politician, an Africa warlord chopping off kids hands? An Israeli prime minister? I also disagree that Americans enshroud any more primitive desires than any other human.

Perhaps it’s our culture itself. Not economy or government at all. Maybe id agree with that criticism. It’s just wild to say that 300 million people are more greedy than the other 8 billion people and it’s because we use the same economic system as Norway…

    Is comparing greed to evil really appropriate? Just because Gengis Khan existed doesn’t mean all other humans get a pass.

    Trying to separate culture from politics isn’t possible.

    You’re projecting a lot onto a very brief question I posed…and you’re doing everything but answering it.
