I never said that it was perfect. And I'm sure there was greed back then too. People generally had more morals and values and displayed more integrity at that time as well.
Government intervention does contribute to breeding and encouraging more greed though. And when you have a big government married to big business — it's a recipe for disaster. Socialism, communism, or any other "-ism" hasn't exactly proven themselves to be any better either. So no solution is perfect.
Though, I don't have a defeatist personality, and I believe that change can happen. All I can do is tell people to turn off the TV, go to a library, get on the Internet, read and educate yourselves.
