Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit.

I know oliver stone was being ironic when he wrote that, but he was spot on accurate.

A great movie...

What's with the political threads? This and Ron Paul... what happen today? I wish I could downvote these threads....

Actually, if you watch the clips, its more about economics than politics, although one could make the stretch to politics / morals.

I think if you're blessed enough to be entrusted with great wealth, you should pass it on to others so they too can enjoy the benefit.

If I ever had money I'd want to give it away in unique ways that specifically help people - whether it's education, healthcare facilities, churches, etc... Seems like it'd be more fun than just buying $1 billion in Ramen and shipping it somewhere.

Everything stossel does is political.

Really? I haven't kept up with the guy. Does he make endorsements of various parties and candidates? Is he a prominent member of some political party or a spokesman for one?
