   NO... you only have to use greed as the tool it is.   
      
   Greed is good and you are the evil.   
      
   Like fear, the politicians can use it to get you to vote for a bail out   
   in which they steal the money.... or they can minimize fear so that you   
   don't go out and kill those with Ebola to end the plague.   
      
   "It's all the same until you use it" and how you do that depends on the   
   Character and moral values you yourself hold.  Rather than trying to   
   eliminate greed from any use which is both good and bad, you need to   
   improve your own character so that you don't abuse your fellow man by   
   manipulating greed/fear to do so.   
      
   And since you can't force others to improve their character you can   
   never eradicate the negative of greed or fear or so many other human   
   traits.  The best we can hope for is to convince enough people around us   
   that character matters and *by abusing fear and greed for evil* *they*   
   *will* *lose more than they will gain* .
