Not true.  (I sense G. Lakoff rearing his ugly head here.)
1)  Very few people in our culture hold that "concern with oneself is all there is".  Americans have one of the most generous societies & civic consciousness is generally high.
2)  Even if everyone were only selfish, it would not be the language that made them so.  Our language has the potential to express selfish, unselfish, disinterested, etc. feelings.
