However, another analysis is that the rich are greedier than ever, more even than during the notoriously greedy '20s. John, this isn't just wrong, it is egregiously wrong - if the "rich" are "greedier" than ever, it is only because of the huge taxes that Obama has pushed on them. Take a look at the new tax brackets for those earning over $300,000, over $500,000, and over 1 million a year. Many of these people got socked by new taxes.
Those who earn a ton of money have a right to every penny of it. Just like Ragnar Danneskjold was "the friend of the friendless", I'll say openly that "greed" is a good thing (when money is earned with some level of responsibility).
