Why isn't it greed to want to take someone else's money? (fast food, salary)

Names, please, and links to their tax records.

You have zero clue what people do with their money. For starters, CEOs provide jobs to others, and that's definitely NOT nothing.

It's none of anybody's business what anybody does with his/her money. Posts like this make me want to give NOTHING to charity.

Great idea, communal living. If we get enough people to do this perhaps we can lower the minimum wage to $4.00.

What makes you think some people are so special that they can't lower themselves to accept living with roommates to cut costs?

And posts like this make me damned sure I'll never willingly give another single cent to charity.

I've totally had it with the entitlement mentality.

Why do conservatives consider taking other peoples' $$$ and giving it to an already bloated MIC just fine & dandy?

True -- and it's not greed to work very hard and expect to come out ahead through your hard work.

It is greed to expect free money and not work for it.

They are not YOU. What they do with their money is their business, not yours.

"Here we have CEO's who make millions yet do nothing." And you have personal knowledge of this, HOW?

How many do you know?

Talk about clueless!

Not a fan of greed, but sometimes it can drive men to do great things and that is OK as long as they earn their money in a legit/legal way. Watch "the men who built America" on the history channel, talk about greed.

It's not greed if you want to give something to get the money.
