Greed continuation

Greed has many forms: lust, envey, and gullnoty. But greed is basically wanting too much where it deprives others of those needed items or resources; however, how can we find a distinction between the two concepts of greed being a constructive or destructive force? Look at the bussiness man who sells you a product that improves your life in some way. Now is he greedy? Yes, but he also makes you more better off. Then look at the government taxing you. It is like what Mr. Newburn said, " a guy putting a gun to your heat and saying give me your money!" When the government taxes us, dose our lives improve because of it. Yes and no to that statement, because the government provides services to the general public but also spends tax dallors on projects that in no way bentift us and sometimes makes our lives wrost.
