Proximately and superficially, that is NOT an incorrect statement. But instead of thinking proximately, think systematically and strategically.
Yes, those who love money will, perforce, seek more of it. They see the world in Zero-Sum terms. They really believe that anything they don't acquire, they lose. They see anyone other than themselves as a threat to, or a means of diminution of their own wealth. Systematically, that situation is the root of many of our current problems.
You see the flow here, right? You see the vicious cycle that has been intentionally created, right?
Greed is intentionally transmogrified into a virtue... or even a "philosophy". Then, great sums are spent to inculcate a malignant sin into a socially-acceptable virtue through means of highly-paid pseudo-intellectual sophists at "think tanks". Then that sophistry is promulgated through very expensive, incessant marketing and advertising. By such means, the greedy-wealthy create a system in which greed becomes culturally normalized and the slaves advocate for their own oppression and their own relative poverty.
