Greed is all around us. Many people have different views on the subject, they either feel that it is good or that self indulgence is bad. But really if you think about it is it not greed that drive this country and its citizens to flourish and succeed? Or is the whole concept of it wrong, such as in Stossel's piece when the CEO purchased of a $100,000 pizza oven?
From the beginning of our nations history successful people have thrived do to, what most would call greed. But what is greed but the want to make ones self better off. So I ask you how is it bad to be "Greedy", don't all of our fellow Americans want to be better off then the next guy. I know I do.
But at the same time i can understand why the "lower man on the todum pole" could be upset that the CEO of his company just bought a 3 million dollar yacht and he was just laid off from his job. So my question to you is when is the need for success and more money to much? When does it become greed?
