re: Why does the word "profit" have a negative connotation?

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

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)
