No one should be innocent.

The profit motive (call it greed if you must) is the driving force
behind all innovation, all customer service, all product excellence
and all efficient manufacturing. Without the potential for profit
(sometimes *large* profits) there are no incentives for the risks and
hard work of starting or running a business. Anything else is
socialism and we all know how that worked out in the former USSR.

Harry is bitter because success (profit) seems to have escaped him.

There are differences between "profit" and "greed," but apparently these
escape w'hine. And to say profit is the driving force behind "all
innovation" is just plain bull****.

Examples of greedy *******s would be Edison, Firestone, Ford, Bill
Gates and your sweetie Steve Jobs (perhaps the worst of the bunch).

Harry would like to think that Steve Jobs did all that work to benefit
charity and liberal causes.

That's just silly. There have been plenty of innovators whose driving
force was intellectual curiosity and advancement of knowledge.

What I think, W'hine, is that you were, you are and you always shall be
an asshole.

It's well known that Bill Gated has dedicated his life to giving his
money away.

Stevie was probably the greediest of the aforementioned.

It's not hard to understand why *you* think that way. ;-)

You're not reading carefully. I don't oppose corporations making a
profit. Also, I haven't owned shares for some time and, when I did, it
wasn't because I expected to live off the dividends: I was a speculator,
and it was easier to speculate on shares than to go to a race track or
Las Vegas. Once in a while, speculative profits had something to do with
whether the corporation was making a significant profit, but mostly it
had to do with what I call "market madness," the ability of shares to
rise or fall on whims, frequently whims that had little to do with the
company's business decisions.

You still own plenty of stock, they are just held by your pension plan
or other investment vehicles you have..

Bingo!

Which has nothing to do with my point that I haven't owned shares for
some time. Your efforts to spin everything into meaninglessness moral
nihilism used to be amusing.

That is like saying "I am not a murderer, I just hired a hit man"

You are living off the profits of the corporations along with the evil
bankster who manages your pension fund.,

Actually, I'm not. The bulk of my income comes from fees from clients
and profits from non-stock investments. I also get a small check from my
union pension plan and, recently, a monthly direct deposit from Social
Security.

What is it you call others who profit?
