How does winning money = greed? If a kid is on this dumb show, gets a gold star, and gets $20k and spends it on a college education in 6 years, how is that greedy? Or wait, are they only allowed to spend it on gold teeth or breast implants or something?

It's just the general idea that they're supposed to charging these kids with the noble task of creating a better society and the prime motivation they offer is an appeal to their craving for material wealth.
IMO the excess of unfettered capitalism is one of the greatest problems with the world we are living in now, and this stupid show is just feeding right back into the same loop.
You don't see the irony in that?

18Dude it's a popularity contest. Every episode whichever kid wins the temporary affection of the whole mob gets 20 large. Then over time you see them break down, like "I didn't get a gold star, I'm going to sabotage Jimmy's bean farm." This is capitalist cockfighting: "let's pay the kids to abuse each other." Like Colt 45 it works every time.
