Wouldn't the olympics be good for London's economy? Or does the price of the olympics not offset the revenue?

Dunno, it's not important.

Here, let me take half your income (probably more, when all is said and done) and spend it on things that makes "society" a little richer. Don't want to? Well, you have a choice: either you let me take it; or I take it with a gun; or I throw you in a cell, sell yours goods, and then take it.

Even if there was some semblance or morality about this, it's a massive toss up. Lots of events like these fail to ever generate a profit.
