Faith claims:
In fact, there's more greed in people wanting government to take care of them than there is in capitalism where people expect to work hard to make their living.
Faith, what percentage of the poor that receive benefits in the US do you think are greedy in the sense of just wanting to lie around and take the money? It's been overwhelmingly my experience that poor people want to work, they do want to have a dignified life. Sure there are a few bad apples in the barrel, but in my experience, the poor are incredibly bereft of the tools and connections to advance out of their position. They want a hand up, not a hand out.
As for the "filthy" rich not having a greediness rating as high as the "lottery-ticket lazy-ass" poor, where are you getting your numbers? From personal experience like me?
Anecdotal evidence is just that. Neither side has much of a leg to stand on.
Do you have a study by some objective source? What would be an objective source on these matters?
Oh, Bernie Madoff,
What are you made of,
That you went and made off
With all their money?
If you want to see Greed Unchained, I invite you to visit the New York Stock Exchange some day. What a filthy mess. Condoned Organized Gambling. No wonder Jesus turned the tables over back then - only now, it's even worse!
