"Finally, these poll results point to a very personal reason why some Democrats and independents may support higher taxes on the wealthiest Americans—they think they are greedy."

So lets see... Who exactly is greedy here? They see somebody else with something more than they have and they want to take it from them. It doesn't matter that the person with something worked hard for it. Expecting to be rewarded for one's hard work is "greedy" but taking it from them by force of law isn't greedy at all.

they think they are greedy

Democrats are projecting their uncomfortable thoughts of envy onto others as greed. Actually true greed is just an extreme form of envy. Most greedy people are leftists. Wanting a profit for hard work or capital risk is not greed.
