Here's another transmission: Sam thinks corporations have to be evil and unethical to survive well enough to profit. I know better than that. Sam is old enough to -- and I am not so frightfully much older than SamIam.
Subtle strawman.

It isn't about "making profit". It is about maximising profit. And very often - but not always - the most effective way to do that involves screwing the workers, the competition, the customers, the general public, the IRS, etc, it ways that are indeed unethical.
