It is clear that you question the existence of a value system that does not generate economic benefit.

It is totally unclear for me where I questioned the existence of a value system that does not generate economic benefit.
The question itself sounds very strange to me.

I believe people do certain things mostly for the sake of economic benefit, for example, fliping the burgers.
I believe people do certain things mostly
not for the sake of economic benefit, for example I support Olympics and do not get any economic benefit. In fact, the flight ticket back China has increased too much for me to like during Olympic season.

Albany Riffles's upset comes from he never read my posts carefully.
Of course, Americans have a different value system same as Chinese. Different people also have their individual value system.
Some Americans consider having 3 wives is the way to go to heaven.
Some Americans help the people they never knew on the other side of the world.
Some Americans generously donated their hard earn money to African kids.
Some Americans come to loot other country's ancient treasure.
