Sadly, too many conservatives subscribe to the "greed" creed. I would rephrase it to, "Desire is the engine of prosperity."
Greed, another word for avarice, is one of the seven deadly sins. Conservatives ignore that at our peril. Greed, according to my dictionary, is "wanting more than one needs or deserves." Greed entails trampling on others to fulfill one's desires; greed entails hoarding.
To call that man "greedy" who works hard and disciplines himself so that he can earn a better living for himself and his family, is an insult. The word is better applied to the person who hoards material wealth, stomps on others to get it, and gages the value of his wealth only in terms of how it compares to what others have or don't have.
Affluence doesn't have anything to do with Godliness. It neither guarantees Godliness nor negates it.
But the point is that it all trickles down from the wealthiest.
If that evil greedy person wants a Lear jet he causes thousands
to be employed building Lear jets. If we stopped every person
with excessive desire for wealth we would all still be starving
in caves.
