Greed defined as the desire to maximize one's material advantage in ensuring the survival of one's own genes:

Educated and far sighted greed is main source of benefit that has accured to mankind.

Were it not for the benefits of greed, you'd be pawing naked through jungle vegetation in the pouring rain look for rotting berries to eat instead of sitting clothed under a roof coking a meal to eat in a microwave powered by a infrastructure that trillions to produce while complaining about the evils of the greed in causing the recession.

Greed is only malevolent when someone is taking something from others. I am incredibly greedy for a future where all of us can be free, with our needs met.

But most people don't extend their greed past themselves and their families... which is why my vote is as it is.

+1.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one that feels that way, Summer.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
