I sort-of disagree.  I don't believe that the majority of people are 
particularly greedy.  We do have, however, an artificial "want" 
condition in this country - and others as well.  People don't want to 
have to work hard.  They see others who hav more than they do.  They 
then, oddly enough, work harder trying to get more without working.

The greedy people are the ones that come up with the schemes.  They 
usually know there's little or no way for the end person to make money. 
  But that person will sure as hell make money for them.

Also when you look and shake your head at all the "poor suckers" 
remember that they were probably never thought to think for themselves.
Our education system does a wonderful job of squashing independant 
thought wherever it can.
