The idea that profits are "dirty" is just economic illiteracy.

Progressives believe our economy is a zero sum game, where money equals wealth and is finite. It is a childlike view of how the world works.

If everyone understood that profits (legally obtained) are the measurement of created new wealth, then they would understand that everyone already benefits. Mr. Carter points this out.

But progressives persist in identifying "too much" profit as morally reprensihible. Marxism, basically, and a scourge.

Sad that your spot on observations on investors and markets needs to be written. Thanks Mr Carter. Hope you reach many more people!
