Gangster or Businessman?

I make my money by supplying a public demand. If I break the law, my customers, who number hundreds of the best people in Chicago, are as guilt as I am. The only difference between us is that I sell and they buy. Everybody calls me a racketeer. I call myself a businessman. When I sell liquor, it's bootlegging. When my patrons serve it on a silver tray on Lake Shore Drive, it's hospitality. by Al Capone (1899-1947)
