Person B is obviously the more selfish person. Is Person B our government?
EDIT:
I like Betty's answer. I knew there was a catch to this question somehow, but couldn't figure it out. Her answer makes the most sense.

It is relative. If person A deems that what is proper is the furtherance of their own gains at the expense of others then them. If what person B deems proper is themselves then person B.
I think based on the information you gave person B is probably the least SELFISH - they're not thinking of themselves. As to whether it is right or not is a different matter - and whether B should be allowed to take from A, and whether B has done the same thing for themselves, and whether B will gain more than A.

I think there is more to this question. One wants to automatically side with person B as being the selfish one, but are persons A & B married? Is so, is person A spending all their money leaving person B to take care of all the bills? Maybe person A is irresponsible with their money and person B feels that he or she needs to take over the finances to make sure that A & B's bills are paid. If my theory is correct, then person A is the selfish one.

You can't know. What if neither wants to reap any benefit from the money, then how could they possibly be selfish. Selfishness shouldn't be the question as it isn't a bad thing to be selfish. The question should be is either morally wrong. And I feel that B is morally wrong.

I'd say Person B.. it's none of their business what Person A does with their own money, and it's selfish of them to think they can!

I can't gauge how selfish either one is based on the information given. You never say what either on does with the cash. However I can tell you that Person B is more self-centered, which is a related but different thing.

Person B. He wants the benefit (giving money to what he wants) without putting in any effort (it's not his money). That's pretty selfish.

Person B has no business with Person A's money, and thus want to take another person's money, a form of stealing, to do "good" deeds with it.

B is obviously the more selfish,they didn't earn the money therefore they have no right to decide how it's distributed.

Person B.
(S)He isn't willing to devote any of his/her resources, but only someone elses. That's selfish.
