If you read the history of Standard Oil you can find out that Rockefeller hired thugs to destroy his competitors' pipe lines. His consequent monopoly position enabled him to cheat his buyers by monopolistic pricing. As for TobagoJack, last thing I heard he doesn't own any factory or even a piece of any factory that pays either sweatshop wages or good wages. So how does he get to be fleecing anybody? Selfishness? Have you evidence that he is not serious about philanthropy? His position looks like the rest of us on this board; we are basically bystanders, placing bets on the outcome. The consequences of these bets are important for us as individuals but don't affect the general situation and the mass of people. I can't understand your arguments, but the general gist seems to be that you are optimistic about the US market and he is not so his stance annoys you. Well fair enough, but you don't have to make it into a big moral issue, which it isn't. Sometimes annoying words are like bitter medicines, they may cure wrong actions, if taken seriously.
