I'm just asking what YOU want.
And your answer is: all the money in the world (or there's no business to put a limit in it, which is exactly the same amount).

"All the money in the world," and "whatever he's clever enough to get" (my exact words), are
not the same thing. I certainly did not say I wanted all the money in the world, and that statement does not even imply that I do.

So, in fact, you are
dictating how much I have a right to earn, and
deciding that I am greedy. Even without my putting a single dollar figure down.
Any worker has a right to earn what he can on his work. Any consumer (you) has the right to walk away from a sale, if you believe it is too much. You personally do not have the right to tell someone else what they are entitled to earn... period. You personally cannot dictate to someone you don't know what they "deserve"... period.
"Greed" is in the eye of the beholder, whether it is triggered at 100 billion, 1 million, $2.50... or some imaginary, arbitrary figure that you want to use to label me greedy and justify not paying for something I'm selling.
