Greed and selfishness are nothing more than current buzzwords.
The "oil giants" are not raping the country. The politicians that prevented them from drilling in more accessible locations are equally to blame for the BP spill as is the government that oversaw and monitored the drilling. There is plenty of oil that can be drilled for that isn't a MILE deep in the water. But no, lets not allow that.
Greed and selfishness have nothing to do with drug dealers. I don't even get that. That is ignorance, unfortunately the animals that deal drugs aren't publicly executed, especially the ones that prey on children.
Greed and selfishness is 100% to blame for the scumbags that make up our Government. There needs to be term limits, government was never meant to be a life long career and allowing it has caused a great deal of this mess we're in. If the politicians hadn't spent the country into this enormous hole we wouldn't need to be taxed to death which forces companies to move overseas where they can be more profitable and in return offer their investors (ie: GREEDY Americans) a better return on their investment.
As for Greed, it's what makes the US economy work, it's what creates all the wealth and standard of living we all get to enjoy in this country. No one needs to fool themselves, the poorest among us in the US live better lifestyles than the the majority of the rest of the world. Bill Gates is one greedy bastard, but look at how many jobs he has created, how many people he made wealthy while he was becoming absolutely filthy rich. All the people that started companies that employ the millions of Americans did so for selfish purposes, to MAKE money, and more than they could working for someone else. No one goes into business hoping that they make less than they could punching a clock for someone else.
The biggest problem the country faces is the absolute sense of entitlement that is felt by so many here. Thanks to our corrupt gov't the rank and file of the entitlement class grow everyday. Until this stops and we return to a culture of hard working, responsible for ourselves people the country will continue to decline. The "Greatest Generation" and those before them had to earn everything they had, and they are who built this great nation, and they are getting to watch it collapse in their twilight. Thanks to the government that perpetuated the policies of FDR which were meant to be temporary we are now infected with millions upon millions who feel they "deserve" everything simply by being born.
Sorry, this got way off topic but it hit a nerve.
