And I have no idea why you'd bring it to the Socialist Progressives Group. Folks like to keep things on an individual level and blame "human nature" rather than take a hard look at the systems they have developed. I don't believe people are inherently greedy. That is a learned behavior that is reinforced and rewarded by capitalism.
