Profit isn't immoral, but stealing is. The easiest way of stealing money is under the guise of doing business. Examples:

1) A bank sells a loan to an agency knowing it was processed fraudulently and won't be paid back

2) A doctor performs an unnecessary operation

3) A broker gets rich selling selling stock they know is worthless

4) A manufacturer sells a product they know is defective

They call it profit but it's really stealing.

After they get sued and pay out the ying yang for court costs and attorneys, how much profit have they made? Don't you think businesspeople are smarter than that?

Simple yes or no.

Is killing immoral? Simple answer, yes or no?

life isn't always simple, nor is life's answers.

You mean like asking if taxes are socialism?

But the real answer is no. Profit is not immoral. Profit is the only legitimate goal of any business organziation.
Sometimes it really is that simple.

:lol:

That really sticks in your craw..don't it? That most every government is socialistic in some way..

And the real answer was given a few posts back. Profit is amoral. Profit has nothing, whatsoever, to do with morals.

Tons of institutions have gotten sued, you idiot. A 5 second Google search would turn this up.
You are an ignoramus of galactic proportions.

John Thane was an inventor of derivatives?

EDIT - I see that he was. He was on Goldman's mortgage desk when MBS were being created.

Can't get it right, eh?
Individuals did not sell MBS, institutions did. So they are the ones getting sued. I am sorry if that does not conform to your class warfare bias. BUt life is tough. Especially if you're stupid.

I think it happens all the time. The ones that get caught are the tip of the iceberg, smart people cheat in a manner that they are unlikely to get punished for their misdeeds. When they do get caught though it taints peoples notion of capitalism.

The word "conform" is followed by "to". Something conforms "to" something else. Not with something else.
You can't even write a simple sentence correctly.
