"It is a matter of record that many of the men who built the industrial base of this country, while not the evil robber barons they were portrayed to be, were not squeaky clean shrinking violets, either."

Which is precisely my point. Compared to today's "capitalists", the "evil robber barons" of America's industrialization were "goody two shoes"sorts.
