Profit

I may be a bit old fashioned, but when did the word “profit” become obscene. I obviously missed something in my education long ago, but I was taught it was alright to try to profit, whether it was from your individual labors or as part of a team or group.

But it seems that I am wrong, or at least it appears that way from various and sundry news stories that have appeared lately.

HuffPo hilights an article pointing out the Presidential wannabe Newt Gingrinch profits from the sales of his many books and videos as he wanders the campaign trail. And they have a problem with this?

I guess I just am backward and born in the wrong era.
