Here's another industry, providing a highly valued service by its consumers, which is being tarred by the now common epithet "making a lot of money."

There are fascinating issues inherent in this emerging economic transaction, but for me, it's the schizophrenia in the dialogue about money. We want people to have more, but if any one actually does, we assume it is because they took advantage of someone or something.
So is making money good or evil?
Is coercion good or evil?
Is cooperation good or evil?
If you answer the last question, you can answer the first two.
One thing is for sure, if the government intervenes with coercive force, a truly creative, cost effective solution for the now emerging problems will not be discovered or implemented.
