Profit can be a very good thing. The whole point of going into business is to make a profit, and grow your company so that you can do well. Corporations began, long ago, as entrepreneurial dreams of lone business owners that took a chance, rode the risk, and made it successfully in the business world. There is a cross-section of society, however, that demonizes big corporations, blames them for all of our societal ills, and blames corporations for the corruption and fraud that infests the political realm.
Mercantilism does exist. Politicians and corporate types both have no problem with engaging in crony capitalism, which mixes the political lust for power with the corporate desire for influencing government so that they may continue to dominate whatever market they are a part of.
All corporations are not built on the model of greed that people accuse them of, and not all politicians can be bought - though in both cases the number of honest corporations and politicians is dipping to an anemic level that mirrors the world that led the American Colonists to revolution.
The folks that tend to be more anti-corporation populate the libertarian and liberal left ideologies. That is why the hypocrisy of the Occupy Wall Street folks screaming out against the corporations as they doodled on their smart phones, libertarian politicians raging against private money in the political system as they accept large corporate donations for their campaign, and democrats railing against big corporations and bankers as they use stimulus money to bail out failing corporations and banks, is such a hoot. But one of the biggest hypocrisies of all is when the Latino community, a group that is largely supportive of Democrat Party policies, and anti-corporation, has no problem celebrating the fake holiday of Cinco De Mayo.
A couple years ago at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill, a community just south of San Jose, California, a couple students were suspended for daring to wear shirts with the American Flag on them on Cinco De Mayo. The reason? The American Flag shirts were considered disruptive.
Wearing a shirt with a Mexican Flag on it on Independence Day, on the Fourth of July, would be considered by these same angry people as being courageous.
The boys with the American Flags on their shirts at the California high school on Cinco De Mayo were told to either change the shirts, or turn them inside out, so as to hide the Red, White and Blue, because showing Old Glory, in America, on a day like Cinco De Mayo, which is held highly by the Mexican community, was disrespectful.

The parents, upset, picked their kids up and took them home, of which the students were later penalized for their unauthorized absence.
All because they dared to act American on that important Mexican Holiday of Cinco De Mayo. But the funny thing about it all is Cinco De Mayo is not a holiday in Mexico. The Mexican population south of the border does not get the day off down there, nor do they celebrate the make-believe Mexican holiday. Cinco De Mayo is a purely American celebration, a celebration of a small battle between France and Mexico created by Corona Beer in the hopes of making a little more money.
That's right, all you "Nation of Aztlan" supporters, and anti-corporate types, Cinco De Mayo exists because of a bunch of Capitalists getting the big idea that if they gave you a day to celebrate, you'd buy more of their "Mexican" beer on that day, and they'd make a boat-load of money off of you.
Talk about sheep.
If I were those boys at that high school in Morgan Hill, I would have refused to go home, and the principal would have had to forcefully remove me from campus, as I sat in the center of the Mexican Cinco De Mayo dance, showing off my American Patriotism, and grinning as they all flipped me off.
Then, I would say as I pulled a booklet out of my pocket, "Do you want a U.S. Constitution?"
