Also, I never understood what wrong about greed. I always thought greed was good. Greed is simply a desire to accumulate Greed is human nature, it is human nature to want to establish the most economic secure outlook for one's own life. Our society is based on lack renewal resources, and greed incentives people to innovate, explore, create ways to ensure their survival over others. Moreover, greed is democratic. If everyone in market is after their own self-interest, then the market will stabilize based on the interest of everyone. Greed can lead to a win-win society. Will some people lose? Yes, non-competitive people will get left behind and suffer. But that's the fact of life. Some people are winners, and some people are losers. No matter what the government tries to do, it will always be this way from the beginning of time to time immemorial. All taxes do, is take from winner and to help losers. But this is detrimental because it makes loser complacent. Their greed overtime becomes diminished. Like it or not, our society is fueled by greed, and without greed would descend into poverty and anarchy. And it is not just our society: greed lies at the bottom of all successful modern and historical societies, and political systems designed to check or eliminate it have all ended in abject failure.
