Greed has been ,is now and always will be one of the deadliest sins committed against God. Scripture is clear on that. Greed destroys not only its perpetrator but also its victim. As a nation we support the only global economic system that thrives and encourages greed: capitalism. The bible clearly emphasizes that God does not support capitalism and Jesus sees it as one of the surest way to eternal destruction.
