I guess only the "other guy" is greedy. Greed is nothing more than economic self-interest. You probably worked hard to live in a nice home - that's economic self interest. When you save your extra money you make to send your kids to college or work an extra day to buy your wife a nice gift for her birthday - that's economic self interest. Some may call you greedy but you are working for economic self interest to make a better life for you and your family.
