Can find nothing to substantiate your claim that "Greed is the only universal motivator to improve the human condition." Greed is the only universal motivator to criminal behavior, but it is not as altruistic as you seem to believe.
Do you teach your children to share, or to take everything they can get their hands on? I feel sorry for them if you do.
Deal with that.
