Because Japan is as mush a Capitalistic nation as the USA. But the difference is the sense of individualism.

People in the US view themselves on a different level compared to their own country/government. Maybe in Japan, the people view themselves in unison with their country/government.
No. It is 100% greed. It knows no racial barriers. It is the society we live in over here. Black, White, Mexican, it doesn't matter. We all have the same outlook on things in the west, that success is gauged by personal acquisition of material goods. Don't believe it? Why the fuck are people stealing big screens and camcorders and not food and medical supplies? All anyone thinks about is getting more bling...
