Greed and free markets make for a healthy society.
As a counter-example see what happened with the Soviet Union, I can tell you first hand that didn’t work very well. Demonizing "bourjois" values of private property and prosperity, while fetishizing the “common good” and all-controlling government made the entire society very unhappy (except for a few fat bureaucrats) and led to its eventual collapse.
And btw this forum is hosted by one of the most prominent venture capitalist firms in Silicon Valley which funds thousands of (promising) capitalists.
That's what America is about, greed, the pursuit of happiness, whatever you call it, everything else is noise.

e.g. that story with a “noose” in the garage or black students writing racist graffiti on campus
Some do it for attention, others for financial gain
