greed isn't even the worst. greed is a necessity if you have any competition. sometimes it's hard to tell greed from operational efficicency.

rent seeking however... rent seeking should be taxed to hell and back.

I think we define greed in a different manner, I presume what you call greed, I'd call self interest.

To me greed is being willing to take to the detriment of others.
