Might, Right, Greed

Probably the strongest argument against the previously discussed denial of a Right to be greedy, is that which is based on the principle that Might is Right.  That argument is: 1. If one has the strength to do X, then one has the right to do it; 2. Therefore, if one has the strength to act greedily, then one has the right to act greedily.  But, the problem with this argument, rarely detected in the centuries of its use, is that #1 is, upon further analysis, exposed as false.  For, a Right to do X is a sanction to do X, independent of doing it, whereas the strength to do X is no more than a physiological condition.  So, every argument over the centuries in which #1 serves as a premise is invalid, as is the one that is designed to deny the proposition that there is no Right to being greedy.
