Greed

Greed is definitely not the desire for the fruits of your labor.  I see it more as the desire for the unearned.  Profit, too, has become ill defined, ill understood.  Profit is just the given name of  a guy's earnings in a particular business deal.  It's exactly the same as your earnings in your paycheck.  I guess I could sit here and accuse you of being worth less than you earn but it's none of my business. By the same token, it's none of your business what some business owner earns.  The only difference is that his is called profit and yours is called a wage or a salary.  See, you're a greedy capitalist, too!  Unless you're willing to give up some of your paycheck.
