There would be no lap tops, smart phones, hybrid cars or Google. There would also be fewer jobs paying enough for people to live on. There would be no pay raises, no investments, no advancements in medicine. So greed can in fact be good. Everything in moderation though. Where greed isn't good is in cases like Bernie Madhoff, where the greed is designed to only benefit one person and has no benefit to anyone else. And while being charitable is noble, and more people should do it, FORCED charity is patently unfair, and un-American in a lot of ways. Thomas Jefferson said it best:</blockquote>
