"getting wealthy in a place like modern USA are doing it much more by building and serving, not lying/cheating/stealing/killing/etc." Perhaps you are not aware of a little insignificant place called Washington. I really wonder just how many really rich and powerful people there are in the US (or even the world) who did not have to horse trade with that little town. And what was it that they traded, I wonder? Yes, I'm sure it was all on the up and up, and nothing illegal or immoral was done. Everyone gets rich through their own hard work, blood, sweat, and tears. And no one else gets hurt in the process. And don't even get me started on the violence inherent in the system that makes so much "wealth building" possible.
