On the accumulation of wealth: selfishness and greed

Every time that I hear the Liberal movement or those dreaded wealth envyists, talk about how the “evil rich” are “selfish and “greedy” half of me wants to laugh my ass off at their open ignorance, and the other wants to grab them by the scruff of the neck and angrily put their closed mindedness in its place.
For starters, the words selfish and greed are way over used and completely misunderstood by the Liberal movement and wealth envy class, in my opinion.
To be selfish or greedy are natural aspects of our inherent human natures. As a child is it not considered “greedy” to want bigger and better presents for Christmas than our siblings? As adults, are we not selfish while in college if we are more dedicated to doing well academically, so as to have a successful future and career, rather than spending our time and money partying those years away? Even our core human instincts of survival: self defense, need for food and shelter, and mating are based in some part on selfishness and greed.
In sum, greed and selfishness are natural for humans.
The irony is that the Liberal movement combined with the wealth envy class, by their own actions, show themselves to be just as selfish and greedy as those they scream about. Is not “spreading the wealth” in some way greedy by essentially saying that “what is yours is mine also”? Is it not selfish to monopolize the press and portray your viewpoints as being more “evolved” than those of the other side? How selfish and greedy was it of their “chosen one”-Barack O’bama-to go out and raise $100’s of millions for his presidential campaign-more than double what his opponent could raise-and then use all that money to monopolize the airways to scream his bogus message of “change you can believe in” in our faces everywhere we turned? Nahhhh, that wasn’t selfish at all…
The Liberals and wealth envyists seem to forget many important things about the “evil rich”.
For starters, many of their own party and movement are wealthy themselves.
Those with money have the money to give away!-to the tune of $100’s of millions each year to charitable organizations-which is pretty freaking unselfish of them if you ask me.
The Liberals and wealth envyists also seem to forget that it is those with money have the means and ability to not on create 10’s of thousands of jobs, but whole new industries to boot.
There is, however, one place where selfishness and greed are big problems-corporations.
There is little doubt that the world’s largest corps seek to profit at the expense of the common man-especially these days in America. But they are the exception and not the rule, and they get away with it because the consumer, i.e. the American public, fail to hold them accountable. In other words, just don’t buy their products and services.
But, then again, to the Liberal mind, that would be considered “mean” I bet…
