No, greed isn't good
I'm British, but we have heard that quote over here quite a bit too. The best reference to an appropriate attitude to material wealth in american culture in my view would be " I don't mind chopping wood, and I don't care if the money's no good. You take what you need and you leave the rest, but they should never have taken the very best."
A fabulous prize is on offer to the first person who can spot where those lines come from.
