Can we stop pretending that government had nothing to do with the 2008 collapse? It's true that there are some "greedy thieves" in big business, but to think that all corporations are corrupt is absolutely ridiculous. Ignoring government's hand in Socializing industries is to ignore the true problem.

My comment was geared toward PetSmart and PetCo. They're big corporations, but they're decent companies, nonetheless. Otherwise, they'd be going out of business due to popular sentiment. People would stop visiting them and would go elsewhere.

Anyway... profit is good for everyone. The more profit, the more potential for expansion, thus the more opportunity to employ individuals looking for a job.
