In Reply to: Same here. It's interesting to learn that the rich "stole" their wealth from the noble poor posted by Road Warrior on August 4, 2012 at 21:20:11:
Exploiting a very large number of people is the most common and safest way to steal, currently.
This growing disparity is to me manifest in the huge numbers of corporate criminals who aren't ever prosecuted - let alone the crimes not ever identified, and the derisory sentences received by nearly all that minority who are prosecuted. And then that so many who can get their employer to buy clever lawyers to get them off. Defending oneself against a criminal charge ought to be a personal charge, no?!
Placing the burden of running a country increasingly on the largest (and less well-off) groupings and minimising that part of the burden on the rich, sure looks like stealing to me.
This is a matter of valuing everyone in a society and not overvaluing and protecting one group who don't need it.
The criminals who do more damage to total wealth than they have ever contributed.
It has never ceased to amaze me that a very publicly 'Christian values' country could come up with "Greed is good" as if it were a creed.
Have you really learned nothing from the global financial crisis?
