stumpzAmericans generally claim the stereotype of being the most capitalistic/greedy people on the planet (sacrificing morality and decency for it frequently), so they get referenced regularly when there are some questionable fiscal ethics at play.
I'm not saying that to try and be offensive to anyone. Funny enough, most Americans I meet are generally happy about this "claim to fame." However most people I have met from anywhere else in the world, including myself speaking as a Canadian, are more than happy to let them have that title to themselves....
AMERICA!!!!
