To educate a man in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to society. -- Teddy Roosevelt (I'm speaking generally and not saying that Jim Simon was bad)


You don’t know what people do with their money so how can you claim they lack morals?


If they get the money in an immoral way, then we can disregard what they do with it afterwards.


The social mechanic is basically that some people accumulate wealth extracted from the value produced by other people's labour.

Is it ethical to use other people in that way? What kind of person can live a life like that?
