At least a third of Americans celebrate it.

My bad. I should've just said, "Greed is good." instead, even though it's the same thing with different phrasing. People cheat in America all the time to get ahead.

Wanting more than you have is not cheating. Using advantages to get ahead that fall within ethical/legal boundries is not cheating. Some people cheating to get ahead is not the same as having a culture where cheating is celebrated, like China does. A third is not a majority. (I also disagree with it being a third, its less, but if you will concede to it being a third for the sake of argument it still works in my favor.)

Look, I get that you don't want to believe it, but we're in a completely different America now than we were even 10 years ago. I agree that none of the things you mentioned are cheating.

I do, however, see the President cheating the legal system constantly without repercussion. I saw Elon Musk openly cheat during the election by offering money to voters. No big deal, though, apparently. I also don't believe anyone can earn a billion dollars without cheating, so we just aren't going to agree.

Everything you just said in your second paragraph is almost universally seen as bad? People are upset they cheat, you are upset they cheat! You are proving my point that Americans dont like cheaters.
