They are capitalists. I'm sure it you cornered them on it they could show you they've made all their money legally. << Notice that I did not say they made it morally - but I'll bet they are clear legally. And that is what is wrong with this economic system. It not only allows but ENCOURAGES this greed and it's accompanying behaviors. They need to go, but so does capitalism itself.
