If you took it greed, if the government takes it greed.

The feds only own (and have a legitimate right to charge rent on) federally owned land, not all land.

Moving your money around - Not greed, but a response to the greed of those who would take it.

Even outright tax evasion (illegal actions to reduce taxes paid) are less expressions of greed than the tax itself is. Taxation is the government being greedy. Taxation is also theft or extortion. Necessary theft or extortion (but not necessary to the extent that we have taxes today).
