People have gotten rich doing all of those. For instance, the head of the Red Cross makes a lot of money. So do the leaders at United Way. Further, many of these organizations arguably don't improve society. For instance, the Red Cross monopoly on blood supply significantly drives up health care costs, primarily to the personal profit of the Red Cross bureaucracy. But this is all sidestepping my point. The idea that making money is to the detriment of society is the claim I wish to dispel. My point is not that you can't help society without getting rich-- its easy to prove you can. My point is, most ways of getting rich do significantly benefit society.
