think about it; greed IS the root of all evil.

n. 1. The defining characteristic of human nature. 2. The desire to own or control more resources than others.
Greed is not merely "I want more". Greed is "I want more than everybody else". Thus the majority of people are forcibly kept poor because if everyone had a million dollars, a loaf of bread would cost a hundred grand.

CEO: Get out of here, bum. You're fired.

A gameshow where you work as a team of 5 people 1 being a leader. At first the first five team mates answer the questions themself's then after they answer the leader can change it or leave it alone. Then when you get to $200,000 a question with 6 choice's and the whole "team" say one of them and the leader can change any one of them. In the middle of the game there will be somthing called "the terminator" where one of the team mates get randomly selected to challenge any of there team mate's even the leader. Chuck Woolery then asks a question then what ever person buzz's in first and answer's the question correctly wins and takes there money away while the other person get's "booted" off. Players can win up to $2,000,000 and unfortuanly the show was taken off the air on FOX.

Nickname for anyone who believes profits are more important than people.
(Not as nasty as the nickname the greeds have for non-greeds, which is "idiots." But then again, non-greeds aren't as smart (or vicious). {half-sarcasm intended}
(Not as nasty as the nickname the greeds have for non-greeds, which is "idiots." But then again, non-greeds aren't as smart (or vicious). {half-sarcasm intended}
The greeds have organized individually, and via both corporations, and government to: a) limit the power, health, and well-being of the general public via new laws and regulations; b) remove established standards of living, and encourage the workplace to disregard the concerns, safety, and respect of the workers; c) amass excess wealth to one or two percent of the people, to the detriment of the majority; d) unduly influence a significant number of remaining middle-class persons via false, excessively biased, and misleading news reporting (as well as over-riding previous FCC policy that endorsed truth in journalism with 2004 FL appellate court ruling stating that there is no rule/law that says journalism has to be truthful); e) disenfranchise, encourage, and institute new policies and laws limiting, and eliminating, voter rights, aka voter suppression; f) utilize and increase pre-existing bias and intolerance to further divide the majority against itself; and f) continue these and other previous disingenuous reorganization efforts.
