You just proved my point. I guess conservative "values" don't include the idea that one shouldn't harm others, or society, in one's quest for MORE (which is what greed is, not the examples you gave). One cannot compare the mortgage broker who arranged a subprime mortgage for a comission with the inventor(s) of personal computers.
