with that definition I see this
Cons: You are Bill Gates, with enough money to buy every person in the US healthcare for upwards of 10 years.

Given this definition of greed, who's to say what one deserves? To me, that seems just as subjective as the concept of greed itself.
Also, just because Bill Gates
could buy everyone healthcare for a while, does that mean that he
should? Does this make altruism the opposite of greed?
