The Socialist left has worked hard to demonize greed, but it might be good to define the term.

According to leftists, capitalists are greedy because they take profit from supplying a service or goods to another without coercion.

Additionally, Socialists are caring for taking wealth by coercion from anyone who has accumulated it, if those Socialists deliver some small amount of that wealth to persons that have not accumulated wealth for whatever reason.

Those that vote for capitalists are selfish and greedy, and those that vote for Socialist promises of free [fill in blank] for all, are noble and selfless.

In actuality, the professionally self entitled are the greedy by a longshot, and the capitalist is a seeker of reward in exchange for making available something of value.

Greed is a Socialist trait and phenomena, much more than capitalist, and must be considered as a Socialist weapon, too, to be safe.

See, I wasn't shining ya on.

I’m wondering about greed for power rather than money. I know those are thought to be interchangeable. That’s not always true. A bureaucrat sitting in a cubicle can rewrite sections of the DOT manual that affects gray areas and result in changes in what is considered a commercial vehicle or block importation of a piece of equipment that’s a negligible source of pollution.

None of them are wealthy from their government salary. You’ve kicked off a train of thought for me.
