Power, Greed, & Money Does Some Good

As many of you know, I am a big follower of the world in terms of money flow. I love all aspects of investment. I love all aspects of business. No one would ever call me a hippy. I am as capitalistic as they come. Most would say I would sell my first born to make a buck. While not true you get the point.

All while I aline myself with the group of people that think profit is the end all be all. One thing that I think capitalistic America does so well is giving back. This is something I do not think any other capital based country does as well as the US. We give back on a constant bases and will really rally when called to action.

I write this while I watch American Idol’s “Idol Gives Back” show, (http://www.americanidol.com). It reminded me of the show that aired a few months back to raise funds for Haiti.

There is plenty to complain about American Greed. There is plenty to complain about our profit motivated society but one amazing bi-product is the give back americans have and the speed at which we can give back if call upon.

Have you given back lately?

    I have not watched either concerts, but I can relate to the underlying idea you propose.
    You touch a good point, but I wish you would develop your thoughts further. Each one of your paragraphs could be deepened to communicate exactly what you mean, contrasting what you believe people can complain about in relation to 'the American Greed', with the 'amazing bi-product' of giving back, exploring the consequences of each and how they counterbalance...

    Too much?

    luv
