No<br /><br />Do you think that profit trumps ethics?

No

Ok, if you feel government has no responsibility to the majority of its citizens then I guess we have nothing further to discuss.
I meant to say yes.
my apologies..I am multitasking on several threads and making an involved peice of music with lots of layers...

Ok so we can at least agree that the government has failed and is failing at its job...

Do profits trump ethics...no...but I suspect your definition of ethical is different than mine in this instance.
Donald Trump is Barack Obama's President!

For the record, glad to see you offer an answer. My whole point in interjecting myself was to pretty much ask that question - does the pursuit of profits trump ethics/morality. Is the almighty dollar the be all, end all. So kudos/thanks for the reply. :cheers:
