[quote=FlyerInHi]The greed comment is a little sarcastic.
Policy should be for the common good. Here you’re talking big picture about things that would make a better society.
Your own business dealings should be for your own good. No contradiction or hypocrisy. You may want to be nice sometimes, but you don’t have to. You have the right to maximize your earnings. Here, you’re working within the existing status quo.
Now, wanting policies that serve your purposes, and making people believe that those policies would serve them when it’s the opposite, is hypocritical.
Examples: working at Goldman Sacks and advocating for social justice is admirable. Working at Goldman and working against social justice is venal.[/quote]
I wasn’t suggesting hypocrisy. But now that you mention it….
