I think we can all be more understanding and begin to help break the addiction to having more and more and more money. Maybe using the word, "enough" is a good starting point as in, when is enough enough? We could then make it a multi-step program including ideas about interdependence, the value of the commons, no you did not get their all on your own, we hold that pyramid up, etc.
So, maybe the times is right. Addictions can be devastating to the people around you. In this case, it is your entire society at stake. Fess up and come to terms with it. When it comes to serious addictions, we don't need to moralize your habit, but it is vital that you ween a little off the hard stuff.

We are enabling them and it is an ingrained, cultural problem--one that could kill the culture and has done so in the past.
Thanks for your reply.
