> The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms; greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge has marked the upward surge of mankind. And greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper, but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA.

The intent of that little speech was to shock through blatant exaggeration. Greed in the US is much more subtle; its hidden behind stock options, golden parachutes, special bonuses etc....whatever economic slight of hand can be employed that can be covered legally or illegally by some accounting procedure. The Gordon Gekkos are easy to spot; its the ones not so visible who are the real problem.
