Because morality is a poor man's companion. If you look trough a lenses where everything is a business decision (whether ingrained or just habit acquired after doing it for 8 hours per day as a job) it will wrap your worldview that way. The savvy business decision is to take as much as possible. That reminded me of something I read a few month ago - maybe even here on HN - gamers don't have as scary nightmares. We are so used to killing weird stuff in weird worlds that when something nightmarish happens we take control in our dream and fight back. http://kotaku.com/5547398/video-gamers-have-power-over-their-nightmares http://kotaku.com/5547398/video-gamers-have-power-over-their... It is the same with the businessmen - after learning to ignore morality in the office - you cannot turn it on for the small stuff.
