Greed is responsible for the obscene salaries of CEOs. In the '90s the ratio of CEO compensation to average workers' compensation was 250 to 1
Greed is responsible for outsourcing, which is incapable of comprehending that the employees who lose their jobs are also the consumers who sustain the economy
Greed causes expensive wars that shatter the budget.
Greed is the reason that only the wealthy are benefiting so far from the economic upturn that is allegedly happening. Greed drives loan sharks
Greed is the reason poor white Appalachians, poor African Americans and poor Native Americans must fight the wars that the wealthy start
Greed is the reason why the country is being run by those whom the president has described, however inelegantly, as the ''haves and the have mores.''
Greed is the reason that the country is being run by the insurance, pharmaceutical, weapons and petroleum industries.

The gap between the nation's CEOs and average workers is now ten times greater than it was a generation ago. GREED!
