You're absolutely right. In the 'old times'
some (not all, naturally) people in my country honestly belived that in the UK, USA, France and other so-called developed countries money lied in the streets and waited to be picked up.
Unfortunately MacGyver, Dynasty, and similar productions were very persuasive.
Well, people have always belived, what they wanted to belive and we can see it even on this forum
