: Of course greed is good: 358 people own as much as 45% of the world's population (1996 U.N Human Development Report) or if you expropriate the wealth of the richest 7 people, you could wipe out poverty ie everyone would have food, clothing and shelter (1997 U.N Human Development Report)

: Just what number of people is greed good for?

: Which number makes you feel better, 7 or 358?

I say we go for taking all 358, rather than just the 7!
