Compare this to truly ethical and socially responble businesses like Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Siemens, etc. who employ millions and bring high quality and affordable products to the masses, while at the same time making a decent amount of profit.

Maybe you think this is ethical and socially responsible? http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13550
And this isn't slavery? http://www.corpwatch.org/article.php?id=13514
I am an accountant and financial analyst so my business is your business's bottom line. I work with and for some of the largest real estate developers and investment holding companies in the US. I know damn well that it is possible to be financially successful without resorting to some of the practices certain corporations do.
