Greed Meets Envy

Tired of hearing about 'greed' from liberals? Change the subject to 'envy'.  Envy, unlike greed, is always personally and societally destructive, argues attorney David McGinley, and the Left owns and thrives on envy!

Covetousness (or envy), meaning the possession of a strong desire for what another has, does not get the attention that its close relation "greed" gets. ... Why? Greed is not always destructive, while envy is. Greed is the desire to have more and, depending how that desire is acted upon, can be beneficial or detrimental. The profit motive has made the United States the most prosperous nation in history; but, conversely, the abuse of that motive was greatly responsible for the September 2008 financial collapse. When envy, on the other hand, is acted upon, there is no good, only bad. At its worst, it leads to mass theft and murder.
