The taxes are on the companies, not the people. If the companies want to pass it along to the people while swimming in record profits, instead of paying with some of those record profits, as the people want and intend: then that is a choice they must consciously choose, and yes, doing so makes them greedy. I mean, they have a lot of money and want more. That's greed. You can argue that you're personally okay with them being greedy, or even channel your inner Gordon Gekko and say that you personally think greed is good, but you can't argue it isn't greedy.
