Still heresay. Let's see the facts themselves. Is this based on tax returns?
Like I said earlier, I give whole days to fixing needy families homes. No one keeps track of that.

Apparently that passes for debate here.

Yeah, and then if he tries to prove that he does exist, by posting, I can just say its all opinion-based rhetoric, so I reject it as a viable source.

Most of the other conservatives here agree with you.

A troll still exists. You are entirely fictitious.

Not entirely. Greed is both good and bad. It motivates people to do more with their time, to accumulate more for their families and immediate society. However and this is one BIG however. Greed as part of the make up of a sociopath is most definitely negative. Of all the mental illnesses the sociopath is possibly the most dangerous. The sociopath has no natural feelings for his fellow man, is often charming and utterly convincing and can, quite honestly, see nothing wrong with casting his fellow man into oblivion.
I used this analogy not long ago. The sociopath, having killed a man, might justify his actions by saying the man deserved to die because he did not have a gun.
That logic is definitely a sign of mental illness as is. I took his money because he did not need it. I took those things because he wasnt using them.
He first convinces himself and then he convinces others. And we all know one. Think about it.
You may be a sociopath, based on this response.
That's what the detractors seem unable to grasp.

Hard to believe as this may seem, I expected more from you.

Or I, and the rest of the human race, am BIOLOGICALLY HARDWIRED to want MORE. It's an evolutionary measure. Ergo, the premise of the OP is fundamentally and fatally flawed.

normally i would agree, but i think it is more about survival of the fittest
however, it is considered by christian religions as one of the seven deadly sins
i have mixed feelings about this one

Of course we are all hard wired to want more, but some of us are also hard wired with a sense of fairness and humanity. Some of us might stop on our journey to millionairedom to count the cost of our actions on others.
The sociopath does not stop, for in his world there are no others.
