Open up a history book.

1. See how many of the great fortunes in this country were made.
2. See how those people treated their employees.
3. How they were looked on by their contemporaries.

Here are a few to wet your appetite sport.

1. Manwin
2. Rockefeller (Standard Oil)
3. Bill Gates (Microsoft)
4. Steve Jobs (Apple)
5. Bush Family
6. Kennedy Clan

Let's see in regards to these "principals".... doing business with the Nazi's, rum runners, anti competitive practices, theft/borrowing, etc. and so on.

Yep. Looks like you're on to something champ.
