I just can`t believe this. I always thought that such opinions I can get only hear in my old country (Poland), where people steal from each other and always think that they deserve something from others, or maybe somewhere else, where civilization has still a lot do to.
So, who is ethical in modern capitalism ? Big corporate leaders spending nights and days thinking how to cook the books and not being caught ? They are people of success, teaching others what to do and how to be useful for the society, but only independent mind can see, that most of them are little people with very mediocre personality. Better slaves of the system, treating lower slaves like a trash.
Who else then ? Politicians ? Yeah, forget it
Lawyers ? Even better joke, isn`t it ? Doctors ? Maybe old fashioned style, if some still survived, the others are just medical business reps
We can go with this much further, but can You see where the difference is ?
Traders have no unions, association, they don`t corrupt anybody, they do not use kids in third world countries to work for them, they don`t kill anybody, they don`t sell drugs, and finally ... they don`t make money on someonethe, who got the cancer. That`s why they are easy targets.
If we want to find hard working class people, which are ethical, hopefully not from advertisement, marketing or sales ???? Because anybody trying to be ethical in these fields wouldn`t keep his job for long.
As professional trader I feel frankly more ethical, then when I worked for the big companies which forced me to be an animal to others.
Take closer look around and better find someone other to blame for the world, as it is.
