The path of greed is a great way to increase personal wealth in the short-term but demonstrably poor in the longer term. The Henry Ford position (pay your workers enough to buy your product and the money will come back to you exponentially) is decidedly more appropriate for a capitalist system.
We must work to detach the concept of greed from the concept of "capitalism" which is a term in desperate need of re-branding. How ironic that the commie bastards on the left will enjoy the privilege of that re-branding.
