      They should be afraid, and resigned to that fate. We worship our capital holders and never place limits on them.

      They aren’t profiteers, they’re our benevolent job creators!

      Greed doesn’t exist. They’re just exhibiting rational self-interest!

      They aren’t being unethical opportunists. they’re acting in the best interests of shareholders!

      They aren’t hurting society for private benefit. They’re protecting our beloved economy!
