General - Is Greed Good? - View Post

As Zucas said, a definition would have been nice. But I don't like greed in its basic form (get more for your personal gain), in the same way that I think the American Dream is a load of crap. Sure it has its upsides, and it certainly has benefits I would miss if I hadn't had it in the first place, but I'd be happy in a society were they had taken a backseat too. I'm a socialist and happily pay my taxes, knowing that it will help make other people's lives better. Sure, I wish the government would spend my money more efficiently, but not paying taxes isn't going to help anyone.
