Your approach - not to draw any lines, caters to the worst elements of human emoton - excessive greed.

Baloney. Excess wealth enables people to deal with problems that would otherwise go unattended, that the collective somehow hasn't found in it's heart the motivation to deal with. Like AIDS in Africa, for example, a recent example. One of the rewards of acquiring more money than one needs is getting to decide what to do with it. Mine is headed for ecosystem preservation. You want to deny people the rewards of their efforts and you're willing to reduce the gross level of effort because it is primitive to be "greedy." Have you ever lived in a commune? Talk about trips back to the dark ages...
