What is the point in fighting greed, meanwhile 1% of the US population is the proud owner of over 90% of the US wealth.

So, this should be a fight against greed and also to create wealth distribution.

An extended trip for a few years to communist China would change your mind. Its worse there.

The concept of trying to suppress greed and promote wealth distribution is nothing new. It is currently done in many Scandinavian countries, where all enjoy a good life and a high standard of education.

However this concept might sound strange to Americans because american culture is extremely individualistic, it is all about me-me-me, not about the collective group.

There are too many in the collective group that contribute nothing to the group, they only take from it.

Greed is abolutely necessay for a successful economy! Also, too much "wealth distribution" is a very bad thing...

You are wrong.let's distinguish between "seeking profit" and greed. When you fire workers so you can increase your bonus is called greed.

Seeking profit is about running a business and caring about your workers, as long as the business is producing a healthy operational profit.
