Greed is NOT Good

How the hell did we get to this place? I am not a religious person. I don't believe in God(big g) much, or often. Nor do I believe in Hell(except what happens to people here on earth, sometimes of their own making-often what humans do to eachother). BUT I do know that for most of human history there were some things people thought were "sins". And the Catholic church, which ruled much of that world for many years had a list of things that were "deadly" sins which would send you to Hell. One of those "SINS" was greed.
Definition of GREED⁠(merrium webster-online dictionary)

: a selfish and excessive desire for more of something (as money) than is needed.

And somehow people like gazillionare Mitt Romney and selfish, self-centered, ego manaic Newt Gignriech manage to be the poster boys for "fiscal conservistism" and "family values". What the WTF?!
