LOL, I know it shouldn't be necessary to understand all the inner workings of the Bitcoin concept in order to use it, but this statement is pretty hilarious in light of the facts.  There's nobody to whom "the greed" could "get".  The fees are an optional feature (i.e. you can still send transactions without them) with three related functions:
- DoS prevention
- incentivizing mining
- transaction priority management

The fees get paid to the miners who process your transaction, not "the man".
