Making money off of other people is how capitalism works. The guy selling you fast food makes money off you. The guy selling you a new TV is making money off you. If you are paranoid about someone else making money off of you, you better go stuff your head in the sand like an ostrich (it'll do just as much good too). Getting ahead is the base of any form of trade. Otherwise why waste the time making the trade?
