Greed is evil. The positive things he describes is not greed.

The misuse of the word "greed" is an increasingly common leftist tool and we conservatives should oppose it.

"Greed" is excessive acquisitiveness, but leftists call all acquisitiveness by non-leftists "greed" without demonstrating why it is excessive.

When does making a decent living end and greed begin? No one can really say. Greed is individual and is a matter of the heart. It is something that each person must ask God to help them avoid.

So long as a business is being run legally and ethically then no amount of profit is "greedy". When leftists talk of "greedy" corporations they should be urged to earn and spend their own money and to keep their noses out of other people's business.

I agree. That’s why we need to make the distinction. They would throw the baby out with the bathwater.
