Calling it greed to keep what you earned flips morality on its head. Earning through work, service, and voluntary exchange is not the same as taking by force or by vote. Keeping your paycheck respects the link between effort and reward.

The deeper question is fairness: Is it greedy to keep your own labor’s fruit, or to claim a right to someone else’s? A healthy society praises generosity freely given, not wealth redistributed by coercion.
