Well, now we're putting loyalty and/or patriotism into the same Category as greed--it's all self-serving. If there is an option (the rich can relocate their assets; the poor have nothing to lose by fleeing), people ditch their "loyalty." If there is not an option (middle class has too much to leave behind and not enough to reinvest), people may as well support their country. I'm not saying that I believe this (it's all too cynical for me); I'm just trying to feel out the implications of your philosophy.
