Yes, some resources will always be depleted but one can decrease the amount of destruction and depletion with appropriate societal and judicial measures.

Holding successful people up because you want everybody to share THEIR success is completely immoral.

Well, if some people are ”wolves” as you call them then it is up to the society to see to that these people do not cause any, or at least not to much, harm. For a society to be harmonic and well functioning there must be equal opportunity for all and some people ought not to be allowed to steal the economic (and other) resources that really belong to everyone.

Well, today we are drowned with capitalist and market propaganda and commersial slogans. To actually teach some facts (based on scientific studies) would really be a good thing ( espcially in a country like the USA where the commersial and religious propaganda machine is very big and influental).
As I said, just read up on the facts.
