We must take the profit out of war.

When war comes, two things happen - profits go way, way up and all perishables go way, way down. There becomes a market for them.

The big companies are the private industry. But they're faced with a short-term need to show a profit in short-term.

Here's the problem: Profiteers haunt America, and for everything we try to control, someone's going to profit from it, more than you control it.

There's a lot of companies that profit from a weak dollar.

Individuals want to know that none of their own money is being invested in companies that put their profits ahead of international security.

It's no surprise companies that quickly grow in value attract those who may want to also profit from the hard work of others.

For a long time, the for-profit world has told us in the not-for-profit sector to behave more like businesses.

What's immediately profitable is the only kind of logic that capitalism understands.

War is a racket. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
