easy, the last 100 years, ditch diggers and want to be intellectuals have been preaching to anyone who will listen that profit comes at the expense of someone's well being, rights, and livelihood.

"profiting off of the work of others, the misery of others, the exploitation of others...and it just keeps going"

no one every works hard, sells a good or service and makes a profit...that shite just doesn't happen and if they do...evil fricking pigs

THis has always puzzled me. I have employees. And their "profit" on their labor is 100% of their salary (less what government takes). It doesn't cost them $0.01 to come to work every day. Why don't we consider them greedy? (not suggesting we should)
