Some are. Most are.

But i do not think many of the Westerners on this forum are greedy, as supposed to the majority.

So Saint, you learn the money concept from the stupid, the apathetic, and the so-called "elite" of our society (which are only the greedy), not all of us.

The vast majority of the west is indeed controlled by consumerism and materialism, however you may have realized 'physicsforums' is a place of science. People here are not your average Joe, very few of us will in fact be like that.
