Of course. I think you are confusing me with Bob Ford.

I was not taken in. My value system told me that was a fair profit to  
offer. I feel good about it. As someone who worked in a commission  
business I believe all people who provide service deserve fair  
compensation. Like that, Chris tips food service people well, because  
she worked many waitress jobs and knows how hard the work is.

I don't find an opposite attitude amusing. I find it ignorant or  
inhuman.
