Sounds like you're confusing,"capitalism" for "greed". The ability to develop ones ideas into a successful business venture and then make money are key principles to Americas freedoms. Capitalism "works"! People are rewarded for their success, but not at no expence. It is a VERY risky venture to start a business, with many people and companies failing many times sometimes. People look at successful companies with chagrin, thinking that these people have not paid their dues, but have not seen all of the failed attempts and money spent.
