Well, Al, you seem to have a different definition of rich than I. True, the top 1% may be more likely to have done morally questionable things to get their wealth (though I disagree that a majority do so). On the other hand, would you honestly argue that most of the top 10% gained their wealth through immoral behavior?

Would you consider the behavior, at a fundamental level, to be unethical? You wouldn't, but I would. That's the big difference. Everyone speaks of the bad apple within the economy, but no one alleges the economy itself is based on 'bad apple'-ism.

The fundamental drive for profit is to f*ck over another because in no way can profit be sustained in a fair and equitable manner.
