The reason I choose this as the word of the day is that I think that this is one of the major underlying problems with this country today. I know this is no huge revelation due to the fact that greed has been with us since the beginning of time, however, I believe that it is getting worse and worse and it is getting out-of-control. I believe greed along with some people's sense of entitlement is what is a big factor in crippling this country.
