With billionaires seeming to dominate our airwaves I was forced to wonder about the psychology of Greed. While some of them will undoubtedly insist they “earned” their money their insistence only shows how deluded they are as a group. Put simply, NO ONE earns a billion dollars, a fact proven readily using basic arithmetic. That aside, I started to wonder what the sources of Greed really are. In large part that’s because I’m seeing more and more Americans embrace Greed, going so far as to try and co-opt the message of Jesus of Nazareth found in the Christian Scripture referred to as the New Testament, as a justification for Greed (the so-called “Prosperity” Gospel). America has come a long way since the phrase “Greed is good” was first uttered onscreen by a Michael Douglas movie character. Unfortunately the place where it’s arrived is not one that bodes well for humanity.
Greed Kills!
Greed Kills!
Greed Kills!
