Me? Nope, not confused at all. I posted the article because so many people (meaning liberals/Dems) actually DO equate capitalism, and the desire and/or the right to keep what you earn, with greed.
To adress Z's McFadden quote....There is no such thing as a truly 100% "unselfish" act. Even when altruism is directed towards someone you are unrelated to, and unacquainted with, and there is no possibility of reward or reciprocation or advantage ever returning to you, it still makes you FEEL good about yourself. So it is technically still a "selfish" act.
