Unfortunately for your failed education, #43, greed CREATES poverty. The modern system called "Hypercapitalism" doesn't build wealth anywhere near as fast as it redistributes it upward from lower classes to higher ones. Instead of building up solid businesses without a constant emphasis on unsustainably high profits, Hypercapitalists merely do whatever it takes (illegal or not) to accumulate more dollars in certain accounts. Those dollars can then be laundered in various fashions to avoid corrective actions like taxes (by government) and confiscation (by law enforcement).
In short, wanting more is perfectly fine ... but wanting EVERYTHING is horrible.
