What is the validity of these words?

[coloradodem2005]

The point is, ladies and gentleman, is that Greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right. Greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms - greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge - has marked the upward surge of mankind. And Greed, you mark my words, will not only save Teldar Paper but that other malfunctioning corporation called the USA. Thank you very much.

~Gordon Gekko, Wall Street, 1987

2. Greed isn't necessarily terrible, but can be when it's alone on the altar

3. The problem is when there is no counterbalance,,,

look at Enron and Tyco. That is what will happen to the US if you allow greed to go unchecked.
