We all operate within the social contract that enables us to practice capitalism and otherwise live our lives. Supporting the social contract is rational, not emotional. Voluntarily treating other people decently is part of the social contract. I submit that it is, indeed, "wrong" to violate the social contract. When there is a hurricane here in the SE Home Depot and Lowes not only don't raise prices, they sometimes lower them. They demand their suppliers maintain prices and divert product from other areas of the country. They bring in all sorts of necessities for their employees (donated by vendors mostly). They feel that they are part of the community and gouging your neighbors in a time of disaster is morally wrong. They make plenty of money on the increased sales, and earn the respect of their customers. Tim doesn't believe in anti-gouging laws. Tim doesn't care that millions are uninsured or under-insured and can't afford health care.
