Of course, a business has to be profitable. I'm all for people making money. OTOH, layoffs are rewarded. Moving operations overseas is rewarded. Stock buy-backs are rewarded. Increasing profits during periods of inflation is rewarded. None of that crap helps families with their kitchen table issues. "All for the good of the nation" - please, that's just too much.
