Envy is the motivating factor for most of this. Yes, I would like to have that kind of wealth but, if I didn't earn it by honest effort, then I sure don't value it. "What we obtain too cheaply, we esteem too lightly."

its a good article, and we need more people like him saying this.

Nice, I specially liked this excerpt,

"All proper human interactions are win-win; that’s why the parties decide to engage in them. It’s not the Henry Fords and Steve Jobs who exploit people. It’s the Al Capones and Bernie Madoffs. Voluntary trade, without force or fraud, is the exchange of value for value, to mutual benefit. In trade, both parties gain."

My only problem with it is this guy a chairman of Goldman Sachs, most of Mr. O's cabinet were employees of Goldman Sachs at one point.
