What about the workers? If they get paid the going rate for construction
work, they make a profit. Are they allowed to make a profit? Who does and
does not get to make a profit off of this? The contractors? The steel
mills? The concrete companies? The companies providing waste disposal?
Give me a list of those you feel it would be appropriate to allow to make a
profit, and those you feel it would be inappropriate to allow to make a
profit, and I'll allow that you might be introducing a worthwhile point,
otherwise you're sucking wind, mister.
