Yes but corporate greed is good. It makes a company work harder to get your money. If they didn't care about profits, then they wouldn't care about making you happy since they don't care about your business. But since they are greedy they want your money so they do what they can to make you happy so you will spend your money with them. If they suck, then they should fail. But they don't suck, then they should flourish. It's how the free market works, which we are far from.

Corporate greed is why you see so many things advance in technology as you do today. It is why you see so many business flourish in the US. It is why YOU, yourself work every day. You are greedy about getting paid. if you aren't greedy, well then you need to sell your Camaro...actually give it away and find yourself a cheap car or no car at all. Then make sure you give away almost all your money but just enough to barely get by.
I can tell you I am greedy. I am greedy at work. I only work at my job to get paid. I don't work here for charity. I want to get paid more then I do now. I also want my company to to better each year as it benefits me. It employs me and the more I make, the more I can spend on goods and services. Which then also employs other people who are also greedy on making more money for themselves to better their own lives. Greed is good. I also do give a lot of money away too. Most greedy people who are 'rich' do. The people who don't give a lot of money away are the ones who want to spend YOUR money for you. They want to make you give more money away but they want to keep their own.
