What is meant by the term “greedy” when it comes to large corporations?

Isn’t making a profit what the stockholders and shareholders expect corporations to do? How many AMERICANS are employed (directly and indirectly) as a result of these corporations trying to make a profit?

Isn’t that what we would expect (and want) in an economic system based on capitalism? How many people share in the prosperity of those “greedy” corporations?

Arguably, some at the top of the food chain (CEOs, etc) make what some would consider “excessive” and I’m sure there are some who most might consider “greedy”. But if these folks think that the answer is for government to get involved in making decisions as to how much is “too much”, then they can be proud to be part of a liberty-destroying progressive/socialist movement. Count me out.
