But the whole quote begins: “The man who wrongly holds that every human right is secondary to his profit ...” which is true. Profit is not above every other human right (no matter how much of a big business guy you are)

Sure it is. When people like TR say this, what they mean is things like "Exxon shouldn't make so much profit, they should give some back in the form of a tax". "Insurance companies shouldn't make so much profit, they should be forced to cover X, Y, and Z". Or, "Banks shouldn't make so much profit, they should be forced to lend in their communities".
