That's the problem of using generalities loosely like that, "everybody" means everybody, and that includes me. It is not quite the same as using a generic "you". You (non-generic) should use words a bit more carefully if you wish to be understood correctly. Besides that, I found your comment to be very judgmental -- assigning the qualities of greed and over-blown sense of self-worth by the price break of prints...there are too many other factors involved for that to be an accurate or useful generalization.
Paul, I can't support my family with my print sales, but I do try to support my art with sales -- so I cannot afford to sell my work and my time at a loss. So there is a little "profit imperative" involved. It is all a matter of balance.
