actually pretty much every excessively wealthy person/country/company has subscribed to that very ethic in some way.

The Kennedy's, Andrew Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates... they might be esteemed names today, but every one of them build their wealth by either breaking laws directly (e.g. the kennedy's were bootleggers) or by completely fucking other people out of everything (e.g. carnegie created the company town and gates made his bucks by stealing somebody elses idea)... I'm sure there are 9000 other good examples.

I'm sure their families and heirs weep at night when they read ethics books.

I'm not saying ethical people arent *right*... i'm saying they arent *rich*.
