a culture that says/preaches that exploiting people and making easy money
The context below is different from the question you posed. This is how I would translated the whole piece underneath:
a culture that says/preaches that exploiting people and making easy money is smart
'Preaches' seems pretty strong to me, so I'm suggesting 'says' as an alternative, depending on the rest of your context.
