- AvenueIngres 10y ago>don't complain about rich people wanting more and more. I don't. That's the basic human thing to do and harnessing that greed has lifted billions of people out of poverty.
- hueving 10y agoBut the comment you were replying to was implying that nobody is going to get sympathy because they are in the top 1% and feel like they must be in the top 0.5%.
- xenobioticants 10y agoThere's 'sweet, a promotion, I can finally afford that nice car' "greed" and then there's 'lets destroy 6000 people their jobs to make the shareholders happy so I can get a $1.000.000 bonus' greed.

- ryandrake 10y agoThere has to be a line somewhere. I don't claim to be the person qualified to draw it, but society has to be willing to define it and say "Wealth accumulation on this side of the line is OVERALL healthy for promoting fair and evenly distributed prosperity, and wealth accumulation on the other side is OVERALL destructive and benefits only a small few."
