The agency will also take a fee for these services which is its profit for doing business. I don't propose to defend the concept of people going into business to make a profit. You either accept that it is a perfectly reasonable way to behave or else you're an irredeemable communist.

Unless you accept the concept of profit making, but believe agencies are somehow abusing their position?
