You better hope 'Greed' continues and has a place in the economy of the US. Without it, you don't have an economy.
People with enough money to live pretty comfortably for the rest of their lives, their children's lives, and hell, their children's great grandchildren too; will keep their money to themselves. They'll move, they'll bunker, just like what you see happening in CA. 'Greed' keeps this money 'in play'. 'Greed' insures that the guy with the good idea, can go to one of these people with money and start a business. 'Greed'
Many on this board see no 'Greed' involved in what's being shoved down our throats under the guise of 'saving the economy'. They are saving nothing - they are killing it. That doesn't mean there is no 'greed involved. Their 'greed' goes beyond money. The greed is for power and control. The greed is to fulfill the goal of having the government decide how much you will make. It's the start of a process that has a predictable future of government 'greed' deciding where and how you'll live, and, who knows - what you eat. All for 'good intent' - but 'greed' for ultimate control is the motivation.
Obviously our bureaucrats already think they know better than anybody else. Democratic notions are already being discounted. Look no further to the democratic vote regarding Prop 8 in CA. It is not accepted. It has been called wrong. It isn't 'right'; and there are a number of efforts to have it turned over against the democratic process that occurred in November. And most here would support that effort. You've been trained well.
The powers that be want more power. They'll get it too based upon the this veneer of understanding most have exhibited. It takes more than a one sided political party perspective.
Some very basic questions haven't even been asked let alone answered.
How can anyone possibly considering hiring 600,000 new government employees when income is down and losses are mounting? Why is there absolutely NO cut in the bureaucracy and employees in the 'stimulus package'? Why is it that not one of these 'executives'; elected or appointed for life, being required to cut their salary, benefits, expenses, and 'marketing trips'?
Why is this possible? quote:
ALBANY -- As he tells it, Randall Hinton is paid $93,803 a year to do nothing.He spends much of his workday at the State Insurance Fund donning headphones, listening to rock 'n' roll, blues or classical tunes and his superiors are cool with that.

Why is it that in CA where the State is bankrupt and any tax refund coming in the form of an IOU; saying that an additional $1,400/family of four taxes are necessary to bridge the budget gap, while not cutting back one employee and not curtailing their 14 paid holidays?
You want the market to 'correct' itself in a day? Cut government employment and every department budget 10% across the board. Trash this Trillion dollar pork package. Let the failures - fail and get out of the way of successful, 'GREEDY' people willing to invest in the future; instead of sending money to create a country where everyone left, fails equally.
The government is using your fear to manipulate you into a world where you believe you can not survive without the government. So its not a war in Iraq, but didn't we hear this warning before? quote:
President Barack Obama warned on Thursday that failure to act on an economic recovery package could plunge the nation into a long-lasting recession that might prove irreversible, a fresh call to a recalcitrant Congress to move quickly.

You don't think this is about 'greed'? Same as money - it is a "zero sum game". However unlike money, power is much harder to transfer. What better way to obtain it than to have desperate citizens demanding to give it to you!
