Interestingly, what is greed and what is normal compensation and/or profit. Who sets that bar? In the end, the number will always be arbitrary. The poorest of the poor will say that anyone making, say, $50,000 a year is a crook, privileged, etc. Most middle class people have never made over a million dollars a year or know anyone well who does. So, they may assume the millionaires are crook, privileged, etc. - despite that many of them worked legally, honestly and hard for it.

In the end, I am all about the facts and try never to rush to convict without them.
