Einstein sure didn't act like he was motivated by greed. To most fair observers, he appears to have been motivated by idealism. I make less money than I could because I like what I do and I have ideals. I'm not saying I'm never greedy, but it doesn't define me nearly as much as my idealism. Also, Einstein came out pretty explicitly in favor a BALANCE between socialism and free market forces. I'm not saying you can't disagree with Einstein -- he was human and not a God. But to cite him so dishonestly is intellectually ... greedy. And when Einstein developed his first groundbreaking theory, he was working at a day job as ... A BUREAUCRAT! HA!
