“‘Greed’ is a word that flows off progressive tongues with the ease of lard on a hot griddle. It's a loaded, pejorative term that consigns whoever gets hit with it to the moral gutter. Whoever hurls it can posture self-righteously as somehow above it all, concerned only about others while the greedy wallow in evil selfishness. Thinking people should realize this is a sleazy tactic, not a thoughtful moral commentary.” -Lawrence W. Reed
[As though greed is a fault that exclusively affects conservatives. I am quite fond of Milton Friedman's statement on greed. But that will have to wait for its own day to be featured as a quote.]
