Nah I think the stock market is great. But that doesn’t mean I can’t criticize unfeathered greed. Like a wise man once said to me in a podcast (Professor Penn) a man can only eat one steak a day, only drive one car day, having an excess of a billion dollars or more just seems to be accepted. Soon as someone says hey maybe this person should distribute his wealth more, maybe into his employees or whatever the jump is made to socialism/Communism.

For sure. I was actually gonna make that more clear. I support freedom but I don't have to like what everyone does with it. The number of things that I don't agree with is long :)

excess of stuff and refuse to share. There's no wrong answer because this is what you think/mean but what you described is what I would call selfishness.

I still remember my dad telling me (born in a literal log cabin, dirt poor) some of the most greedy people I have ever met were poor. Greed isn't about how much money you have.

Always stuck with me. Some of the generous people I have ever met were very wealthy too. I know plenty of generous people that are not wealthy. People often surprise you. What you expect is often wrong if you are willing to accept it.

The desire for something you do not have. It's something pretty much every human has as well. Not just those with wealth. Capitalism has incentives that take that into account and use it to build wealth for all of society.
