What percent? (Citation needed if it's anything greater than 1%) What does "virtually" mean? This statement has no details and just comes across as political dogwhistling as a result.

Do you expect there to have been studies done on what percentage of the population puts profit over everything else?

> What does "virtually" mean?

virtually /vûr′choo͞-ə-lē/ adverb Almost but not quite; nearly.

I expect people to not make claims without evidence. I never asked for a study, either - that's you misreading my comment. I asked for a citation, which could be a public poll - some empirical evidence, as opposed to none.

This is an intentional misinterpretation of my question, as well as being sarcastic to mock and emotionally attack me. Any reasonable reader would have known that I meant "what value does virtually mean here?"

You're intentionally being deceptive and emotionally manipulative to push a political agenda. Don't do that.
