Point to me where Roberts used “obscene” profits in his essay. I must have overlooked it.

Ok, how about this statement? “But offshoring, or the pursuit of absolute advantage, breaks the connection between the profit motive and the general welfare.” Now, besides being a load of mule-muffins, this statement implies that profits obtained from “Offshoring” are immoral as they supposedly “break the connection” with the “welfare” of the American public. Americans still benefit through investments in mutual funds, stock, and even bonded-debt from these companies. We profit when that company profits if we have partial ownership in it; it doesn’t matter how it profits. Now he may not have used the exact word “obscene” , but he obviously implied it.
