GREED is GOOD?

Answer 1

No greed is not god.
Greed and evil masquerades itself as god loving and fearing (Bush), these people have no concept of God.
While real god loving people spend their days worrying about being decent people, the greedy evil people spend their time plotting to control these people and generally take the piss.
World economies would not collapse without greed, it is greed that is creating a sytem of injustice, intolerance and poverty at the heart of the very richest nations.
In the UK before Europe MADE us give our employees four weeks holiday our entitlement was crap, sometimes two weeks like in the US, yet we are no poorer.
So why did the EU have to MAKE the UK give our workers more quality time to themselves and their families if there were no real financial consequences?
Institutionalised greed, a couple of backhanders to the ministers and the workers rights dont exist.
Is that what is required to run a seccsusful economy?
Britain has a succsesful economy but a shameful standard of living, the benchmarks to define a strong economy are wrong if 30 percent of your children live in poverty and growing, yet the world bank thinks your eceonomy is great.

Answer 2

--If I recall correctly that is what Micheal Douglas said in "WALL STREET"--
--OF COURSE its good for this is the moto of most who are rich, AND it is a sick view of life!--WITH MANY serious consequences!

--This text in the scriptures exposes GREED for what it is a pervertded moral sickness:

(1 Timothy 6:9-10) “9 However, those who are determined to be rich fall into temptation and a snare and many senseless and hurtful desires, which plunge men into destruction and ruin. 10 For the love of money is a root of all sorts of injurious things, and by reaching out for this love some have been led astray from the faith and have stabbed themselves all over with many pains.”

*** w86 6/15 p. 10 The Blessing of Jehovah Makes Rich ***

From Canada comes a report from psychiatrists who had studied the children of the superrich: “Life bores them. They have no goals other than pleasing themselves and cannot tolerate even the smallest frustration. They feel few emotions of any kind. Their main pursuits are buying things, traveling, and searching out new sources of excitement.”

The New York Times commented on a former millionaire: “As he became more successful in business and gained wealth, he says he saw his family change. ‘My wife and daughter would measure people by the money they had, and if I gave one daughter a $300,000 home I’d have to give the other daughter $300,000 in cash.’” After suffering a heart attack, “plus seeing what wealth had done to his wife and children,” he changed his way of life.

Concerning an oil-rich land in the Middle East, Arnold Hottinger observed: ‘Wealth as pathology is something also familiar to the many foreign physicians who come here to earn high incomes. Nowhere, they report, are psychosomatic ailments as common as here—ailments which cause genuine suffering but are not caused by any demonstrable failing in the physical organism. There are, they say, young people who give every sign of being elderly, and old people who behave like juveniles.’

Jean Paul Getty, the millionaire oilman, confessed: “Money doesn’t necessarily have any connection with happiness. Maybe with unhappiness.”

Answer 3

Greed is good. Fiercy selfishness may make life-promotion possible. Sexual greed, covetousness, gets you a wife. Your love of merits may pave your way unto educational and/or pecuniary promotion, unto more success. Greed is the fertile ground of your affluence real or potential, and so of your admiration and respect by others.

Even Jesus is reported to have declared that "unto those that have there shall be given, and unto those that do not have shall be denied."

Greed is at the basis of having wealth. Ungreedy people are the blunt enemies of their own prosperity and so also of national wealth because they do not want to collect unto themselves, do not want to create surplus, excess, that indirectly or directly may rub off onto others.

Greed is good.
