Greed is indeed the root of all evil. It takes many forms not just the gathering of material possessions.
We do have too many “material possessions” I agree with that but it is the developing nations that are producing the cheap material goods in the first place. Stopping shopping for them only makes those countries more squalor and jobless than they already are.
If you have another solution to reforming greed, lets hear it?
Many and varied and far too much to go into in a flame forum.
Lets just say I care nothing for the health and welfare of other nations. Especially when their continued growth depends on the draining of Americas health and welfare.
As far as I'm concerned my country comes first.
