Here's a fact for you. The entirety of the top 1% could forfeit all of their wealth and become poor, and it would barely put a dent in the confiscation of wealth that has become the welfare system.

Greed is wanting more when you already have plenty. Jealousy is wanting something you don't have.

Communism is an ideal that has never worked in practice. The Soviet Union did such a fantastic job building cars that a used car was worth more than a new one by virtue of existing. Nobody was happy and everyone but party members were poor.

The only person stopping you from having more nuts is yourself......

I see plenty of folks out burning themselves out trying gather more.....

I choose not to because my nuts meet my current needs\values.....being greedy might just be too much work for me I guess....

Don't confuse greed with having a level playing field among people doing the same job.

Yes sir......every civilization will have their 1%.....the difference between capitalism and socialism is that the other 99% isn't equally destitute.....

Mmmm-hmmmm.....

So that senior driver that bids a higher paying run is greedy because he makes more than the junior driver that is doing the same job?

You looking for a "level playing field" that doesn't take experience, initiative, or talent into account?

Ol' Dick probably could use assistance with his duties at the gulag....

Comrade Dick needs to realize that this is the USA and we don't need to hear commie quotes from failed dictators. His morally bankrupt ideology isn't doing his side any favors. Of course he's not intelligent enough to realize that he does more harm than good for the pro union side.

The Soviet Union wasn't true Communism. It morphed into more of a State run Capitalism under Stalin..

You aren't intelligent enough to contribute to this conversation. Go back to the children's table. We're moving beyond Union talk in this discussion.

The same pay for mileage and by the hour is what he was saying. There you go twisting people's words. If you think he means anything different your lying to yourself.

Your definition of greed is skewed. Here is the definition "intense and selfish desire for something, especially wealth, power, or food". Nobody is getting wealthy driving a truck, by wealth I mean making over 250k a year.

My definition is my own opinion, not concerned with acquiring your consent and approval.......no different than your definition of wealthy......I am sure you could get lots of dissent with your arbitrary figure.....

Well I will stick with the real definition, otherwise how could someone debate your opinion?
