I am pursing profit and moral edification. The terms arn't mutually exclusive.

Either one controls your behavior or the other does.

Case #1: If, at the point of conflict, you forego morality for profitability, then you are pursuing profit. This is the behavior of the rational capitalist.

Case #2: If, at the point of conflict, you forego profitability in order to "be moral", then you are pursuing morality. This is the behavior of a charitable organization.

Case #3: If there is no point of conflict, then it is irrelevent which you are pursuing, because you actions are the same either way.

Your hypothetical is built around the assumption of Case #1 (at the point of conflict, profitability controls and morality yields -- hence the request for a special "sub-minimum-wage" to make the "moral" action open to profiteering).
