Capitalism is a desire to accumulate Capital. Where do you think the
word comes from? That is the same as Greed. A Capitalist is Greed-
driven, insofar as he/she is a Capitalist. It's really not very
complex. Bill Gates is a Capitalist. Warren Buffet is a Capitalist.
Richard Cheney is a Capitalist.
You can earn a living, without being a Capitalist, if you aren't
really that interested in money
-- Capital -- as an end in itself. If
you only see money as a means of helping people, enjoying yourself, or
pursuing activities and ideas of interest, you probably aren't a
Capitalist.
