What is your take on the concept of "extreme" profits?

Asked by plethora (10007points) October 6th, 2011

Apple earned $12 Bil last year. Is this an extreme profit? That amount never seems extreme when taken from the hands of workers and placed in the hands of government. Why might it be considered extreme when earned by a business? Is the” whole concept of “extreme” profits a dangerous concept? Is there some magic amount of earnings above which businesses should be mandated to donate to charity? How do you see this issue?
