It's not just any criticism, it's the specific criticism you made about the basis of the capitalist system, "When you're ultimate goal is profit, whether a company fails or is successful, you're in it for the wrong reasons."

All I was saying is that those are exactly the right reasons to be in business.  You see it as a bug, I see it as a feature.  It's not like you were making a critique of this or that feature, but the very basis of capitalism.  So I don't think it's unfair of me to ask, what is your alternative to the profit motive, if you don't feel that people should be in business for profit?

The last time the intrinsic greed of capitalism teetered towards plutocracy ended with congressional hearings on the White House Putsch. This country is rapidly heading towards it again if the greed isn't stopped.

Sure...make all the money you want. Fuck over your employees all you want. Downsize all you want. Outsource all you want. It'll come around and bite you in the ass some day...
