This just reeks of whiny left-wing uninformed nonsense. Did you hear this at an Occupy protest??

Reading between the lines here, your thought process is obvious. Your jealous rage towards anyone wealthy compels you to level insane accusations of fake profits, 'cooking the books', and something something three card monty.

Just because you don't have an understanding of accounting and corporate finance doesn't mean that profits are an illusion
