There is nothing so bad that you will not find a Capitalist or one of his henchmen doing it; but you will never find a Capitalist in the wrong. He does everything on principle. He gets us to fight and pay for his wars on patriotic principles. He claims his prerogative to rob us on business principles. And as his manifest destiny he enslaves the world on imperial principles. [My paraphrase of G.B. Shaw, in "The Man of Destiny".]
