Avarice

After reviewing and contributing to a friend's discussion regarding taxes, I remembered that it is tax day (if my wife had not filed months ago, I may have forgotten), which brings up the issue of greed. I would love to have a discussion about the topic, and although this blog is not a political forum, political ideas that tie into greed are welcome.

Political greed, corporate greed, ownership in general are up for discussion. I just read an article on the Tea Party rally in Washington - the statistics tell us that Tea Party supporters tend to be critical of the Obama administration because in their opinion his policies favor the poor, and they claim to be worried about the economy. In addition, they are worried about being taxed into poverty, yet there income tends to be higher than the average American.

What do you think about greed in America? how do you define it? and is there anything to be done to curb it or is it just an inevitable part of life?
