I fully expect the downvotes. America since Reagan has largely embraced the greed is good mantra. American evangelicals who profess to follow the Bible would downvote a comment that quoted the Bible by saying that the love of money is the root of all evil

people on this site are frequently very interested in compiler optimization, processor and instruction set optimization, faster clocks, pipelining, datapaths, effective utilization of cache, etc. etc. That's what "greed is good" means, greed drives people to try to improve, to get the most out of what they have.
The use of that line in the film was very clever, it had two meanings, but you don't seem to get the subtle one. There is nothing wrong with greed, greed is good.
what there is something wrong with is envy and jealousy; all cultures and ethical traditions recognize that.

Supply side Jesus appreciates you.

Salk was not good at what he did because of greed. Leonardo was not great becuase of greed and being more greedy would not have made him better.
Greed is not good. All ethical traditions recognize this. Your view is pathetic. The actual Jesus does not appreciate you.
