Just a Thought: Greed and the American Dream

iStock_000002036764XSmallWhat, exactly, is greed?  We hear a lot about it these days and I am con­vinced that, in some ways, we are look­ing at it the wrong way ’round.

We now assume that peo­ple who have money, or who own busi­nesses, are just nat­u­rally greedy, par­tic­u­larly if they have “made it.”   But, wait.  Wasn’t that the Amer­i­can dream?  Wasn’t “mak­ing it” the very thing that made peo­ple want to come here?  Has the Amer­i­can Dream become lit­tle more than a hand-out?  If so, who’s pay­ing the bill?
