Over the top.
The Profit Takers will get around to screwing everybody, sooner or later.

The question is, where did you develop this liberal trait?
I guess I should be insulted.
Notice I said nothing about inhibiting their pursuit of profit. I do believe there are other considerations as important, sometimes even more so.
In this case, I would think that encouraging certain interests - such as in our military hardware, or simply working with their hands instead of playing video games or watching TV - in our kids would be beneficial.
But no, someone saw a chance to make a buck.

Oh no, it's a fine conservative trait to have those attitudes.
If slavish devotion to profit making where nothing of worth is produced in exchange is the measure of conservativism then yes, you can count me out.

*This* one is. What's most sad of all is that he thinks he's a wit.
