So we're in agreement: capitalism isn't always ethical. I see that as a failure. If you don't, that's your opinion and you're welcome to it. I believe more strongly in ethics than I believe in financial stability. I'm pretty sure that's been consistent for the past 4 years I've been on TFP.
You never need to condescend to someone to get your point across.

It is clear that you don't understand how businesses and investors operate, you don't want to understand because you stop at ETHICS and don't want to hear more than that. I don't care that it's not ethical, in fact the next time you get that itchy feeling that you don't want some of that cash in your wallet or bank account, you just feel free to send it this way.
See there are ethical companies, just like there are ethical people. There are companies that do the right things and there are companies that do the wrong things, but because some do wrong you seem to rather toss out the baby with the bathwater.
You'd rather there be nothing because you can't live with any duality. That's great! Everything in your life must equal failure at some point then...  good onya!
