I am against businesses squeezing workers so that they can keep shareholders happy but I am equally dismayed at the current vogue of bashing businesses simply because they might be profitable and have to live in the real world (as opposed to a world of left wing success envy and muddled wishful thinking)

Well said.
Businesses that are profitable don't close leaving all their staff unemployed.
Businesses that are profitable don't need bailing out, which is what got us into this mess in the first place.
Businesses become profitable when they are efficient, and provide products or services people want. So don't knock profitable businesses run by rich people, knock the ones that waste money then expect a handout from us.
