That's true--it's funny when people always call Percy the most ambitious or whatever because he's been associated with that in the text when the Twins are pretty damn enterprising as well!
The Weasleys, as you say, aren't starving or anything. I think even for Percy whatever point he was making for Arthur wasn't so much about greed for money. It's probably about some weird dynamic of signals he thinks he gets, or just another way to claim success for himself. I honestly think that even if Arthur had family money Percy and he could have had a similar fight.
