Capitalizing on the smashing success of another month of pride the crypto-fascists at Black Rock have excitedly announced they will be sponsoring Greed Month this coming December. With the heavily commercialized holiday season (formerly Christmas) now a staple for churning out fiscal butter for the acquisition class the big players on Wall Street are certain they have a winner.

Al Sharpton, The CEO Of Racism Inc
by Ray Cardello
Al Sharpton and before him Jesse Jackson, created their careers on racism. They have stoked division and kept the concept of systemic racism alive because it was a revenue stream they needed to satisfy their greed.
Tone-Deaf Democrats Advance Bloated Raise and Benefit Package for Themselves
If you want an example of Democrats being Democrats, the Vermont legislature has one. They are in the process of rewarding themselves (without any public input) for successfully ignoring constituents’ concerns.
Promoted from the Comments – Just like Anyone Else, Bureaucracies Act On Self-Interest

Too often, Capitalism is portrayed by the Left as being a selfish economic philosophy. Greed figures heavily into their diatribes as well. After all, if Socialism and Communism is your goal, why would anyone want to tell the truth about the system you want destroyed?
“In his own self-interest”; Capitalism encourages altruism
by Skip
It may be the most common criticism of free enterprise, the economic system that has produced more wealth spread across by far the widest portion of people in all of human history: It’s all based on selfishness and greed.
Facebook Accused of Discriminating Against American Workers
It’s nice to wake up to happy news, and there’s so little of it, but we’ve got this. Facebook, maybe you’ve heard of them, is being sued by the Feds. No, not for violating section 230 of the Communications Decency Act. No, not for suppressing speech rights. They are charged with giving jobs Americans will do to foreigners to save money.
The other Evil that is Andru Volinsky – that of Greed and Selfishness

The greatest lie, as you all know, is that Socialists would have you believe that if you put them into places of Power, they will bring Heaven down to Earth so that all can live a life of Utopia. Well, we all know that almost all Socialists are godless so how would they believe in … Read more
Democrat Socialism is Greed at the End of a Gun
No human being is immune to greed. Avarice. Lust (for power). Nor are they immune to what we sometimes refer to as the Seven Deadly sins. It is human nature. The best we can do is find ways to limit it. The founders thought this critical to the matter of government.
Money for nuthin….
by Susan Olsen
So let me get this straight, some 250 folks were trusting (nay, let’s be honest, greedy and stupid) enough to loan money to a Ponzi scheme in the hopes of making astonishing returns on those loans and when the scumbag operating it finally ran out of suckers and money and the game collapsed, these 250 … Read more
Data Point – Govt doesn’t like you giving your money away without getting a cut
by Skip
Sounds like the Mafia, right – “a cut”. But what other takeaway can there be to this but that Govt wants us to be less charitable – but they want more: In 2012: you can give a tax-free gift of up to $13,000 per person. If you’re married, you and your spouse can each make … Read more
Blogosphere Line of the Day – on Greed
by Skip
From Instapundit “A higher form of justice” translates as “give me the money regardless of the law.” “Greedy” means “you won’t give me what I want, just because it’s yours, not mine.” So Occupyish…yet from Sweden. Or, the DNC / Obama Administration for that matter
Problem is, Obama wishes to put everyone on the Government teat

You know, Grokster Tim is gonna give me SUCH a hard time over this image – time after time I have repeated my one inviolate rule for Groksters about strictures in posts (“Adult themes, kid friendly”) when he (deliberately, and with a smirk on his face – heh!) puts up something that pushes my buttons. And while he claims some ulterior reason, I know he likes to push my prudish (in his eyes) buttons – and then all the other Groksters smile in that he’s giving me a hard time. Again. So, it’s after the jump.
The cover of Time magazine is that of a Mom that believes in extended nursing – her three year old son is “latched on” and she defends her decision for delaying the weaning process. Fine. Her decision and that is up to her an her family. Our two sons were also breast fed but for a far less period of time than this “cover model” has already done.
Well, there are parallels in the political world and Rush has it dead nuts right – Obama believes that Govt is that Mom and we all are that kid. The message is from Obama is that hanging onto Govt for your daily sustenance is a good thing:

Congress, Please Don’t Cut Funding for Bike and Pedestrian Programs
In the U.S., cities and states provide most of the funds for bike and pedestrians developments, but the federal government also provides essential funds without which many very important projects wouldn’t have been possible. The previous transportation bill, which was signed into law in 2005 by a Republican Congress and Republican president, supported that vital infrastructure funding. But the current federal government isn’t so keen on creating alternatives to cars: “The Senate has passed a bill that by and large preserves the status quo, but the House of Representatives has tried to eliminate bike and pedestrian programs.”
OK, back to TreeHugger for another go (no, I don’t make a general habit of commenting there but after a while, I get tired of seeing the “gimme hands” always out as if the Federal Government is just another name for Santa Claus or view it as a bottomless money pit simply ready for the bucket to go down and when it comes up, their pet project is funded. Realization of the nations current fiscal status – pretty much either nil or determined obliviousness.
So, seeing yet another iteration of “get that free money for MY important project” gimme mentality, I could not help myself:
We’re $16 Trillion in the hole here, folks – when does the spending stop? In reading this site, I keep seeing pleas to do with less – how about with less Federal spending. If something is THAT important, why not persuade your local level of government to spring for these kinds of projects – after all, it benefits the local community.
And if they won’t, doesn’t that send a message?
Really, if something is that important to a local community, shouldn’t they be self-responsible for paying for their own needs (or wants)? I have never understood the outlook of “hey, we want something – but let’s get somebody else to pay for it”. Silly me; as I was growing up from childhood to adulthood, that had a name: selfishness. But, this is today and that, seeming, was a more mature time.
Well, that was not well received by the Greenie Keynesians – after all, they can’t go green on their own dime, can they?
