When is it moral to make a profit?
   
We all talk about greed as a negative aspect of the capitalist system. Certainly we can all point to people and companies putting profits over morality. That begs the question, when is it moral to make a profit? What type of framework should be used to evaluate the morality of a person or business the makes money for themselves or investors?

Hey DUmmy do you know when companies tend to hire and expand?
When they are making profits is when. Also if they are making a profit the employees they have, generally have more job security.
How often does a corporation making money hand over fist lay off people?
How often does a corporation losing money lay off people?

These DUmmies should really come down on their Hollywood elitist leftist. So many movies get made in countries where they don't have to pay union scale for the "hired help".  Hollywood is helping to oppress those people.
