Depends on the person who is growing older, but a lot of older Americans are selfish- a lot of ALL AMericans are selfish- we have a culture of selfishness. Look at all the Elderly Americans who are enraged at the thought of their social security or medicare benefits being reduced- even though they are taking out more than they put in - they are stealing from their children and grandchildren and they don't care. All those bumper stickers "I'm spending my kids inheritance"- it is so true.

Because this is a supremely capitalist country at the moment it BEHOOVES everyone to be bred to be selfish. Selfish people are better consumers. And what we are raising in this country is consumers.
