>But I just wish more people would have the gumption to say 'I made a big set of money hats for myself, my investors and my employees, and I feel great about it'.

It would be great if making money for employees counted as a plus on the balance sheet. Instead, giving money to employees counts as an expense. Isn't capitalism wonderful?

By the way, a balance sheet shows assets vs liabilities. The profit/loss statement is where you expense employee costs, as you should.

Making money for an employee counts as a plus for the employees and their families and communities. So I fail to see that as a problem.
