From your use of the word "greed" and the pope's comments it appears that neither one of you knows jack about economics, wealth creation or human motivation.
Had a recent discussion of “greed” with a libinlaw.
Her position was emotional, that all greed was bad.
She was livid that I insisted that we would be instilling the virtue of self-interest in our children and recognizing the systemic value of individuals acting in self-interest.
In other words, we’d be teaching them “economics”.
I understand Economics enough to understand that without preservation of the middle class capitalism cannot survive. I also understand that unless individual and small businesses can thrive and grow there’s going to be a lack of opportunities to move ahead.
