Bernie Sanders has a problem: sometimes greed is good

Put human beings in close proximity to money, and it's inevitable that the greed impulse will flare out of control. The question is: what do we do about it?

Bernie Sanders has a problem. Sometimes greed is good.

Imagine, for a minute, that your employer tells you that he's going to pay you 25% more a year and give you an extra week of vacation. In exchange, all you have to do is agree to come in an hour earlier every day, leave an hour later every day, and make you responsible for finding a way to cut your division's annual budget by 5%. Do you take the offer?
