Is it not true that the definition of profit is pocketing the excess value produced by your employees and the amount consumers are willing to pay more than your product is worth?

That's why charity from the rich always sounds to me like slave-drivers patting themselves on the back for making their slaves work for a public cause of their choosing one week out of the year.
