What the heck wrong with making a profit? Are you working for free?

Nothing is wrong with making a profit, unless profits are more important than ethics. That is the flaw in the corporate model.

Do you see a problem killing people for profit? That is one way how making a profit can be wrong. What about Madoff? He just wanted to make a profit.

You know this already. Don't let my annoyance to you cloud your judgment. Read my words -- not my username.

What Madoff did was illegal and he will spend the rest of his life in jail. What do you mean killing people to make a profit?

Exactly. He chose profits over ethics. Don't you see a problem with that? Profits don't justify his behavior. Hence, it can be wrong to make a profit if your motives are unethical.

Mercenaries are people who are paid to kill. Think of hit men. Their actions are not justified either by making profits. Just trying to explain that making profits is not always OK.

Once again both of these are illegal and neither have any thing to do with corporate greed. Individual greed yes.
