What does this mean? Why is it wrong for an individual to want to run a business for profit? When has free market ever harmed product quality and price? Free market is exactly what we need to improve the care and safe access to patients! Making money is what motivates people to open a business, everybody needs money in this world to survive, why are you condemning what everybody already does, including yourself?

One of my dreams in life is to open my own pizza restaurant. I love pizza, and I would love to make money selling it. Does wanting to make money make my business seem bad in anyway? Doesn't EVERYBODY open a business to make as much money as they can?

Now back to making pizzas, if I sell pizza that tastes like shit, I'm not going to be getting a lot of business. However, if some people visit anyway because I am located closer than the nearest Pizza Hut, am I "taking advantage" of them? If I charge $15 for a large pepperoni pizza while Pizza Hut 10 miles away charges $10 am I being "greedy"?

Nobodies argument against Tony would ever hold up if you applied it to any other business, so I don't understand how anybody can really criticize Tony for doing what any other business person would, and should, do?

Seems like people continue to assume the reason the prices are high is because of greedy businessman, which isn't true at all. Any job that includes high risk usually pays well, and why shouldn't it? Lawyers aren't exactly cheap....
