Your master's definition of compassionate capitalism -- corporate ethos wasn't the issue, Fluffy -- applies only to those who practice what he believes. It's visceral, borne of emotion, with which you're very familiar. Nothing more, nothing less. Most dogs know when to stop barking up the wrong tree.
Let's not forget that the evangelist holding the leash knew as an avowed teenage atheist that he was taking a bible college for a year's free ride because, well, he could, speaking of exploiting loopholes.
Moral? Hardly. Compassionate? Try again. Capitalist? Cha-ching.
