Cultural difference.

You were brought up in a culture that glorifies personal wealth. Because of that, people are taught to have a basic distrust of other people (including the government) when it comes to money.

They have a society where they have greater trust in their neighbors and their government.

It works for them. They are satisfied with it, or it wouldn't exist.

It wouldn't work here because it would require a reprogramming of society. We generally prefer the way we are already programmed.

Frankly, I'm not sure why anyone here even cares. Their society, their rules. Why would this be an issue here where we are so satisfied with our culture? After all, aren't we the greatest country in the world?
