The latter, of course. Our economic system is founded on theft.

^ Actually wage theft and property are more common.  PT6A posted:Yeah, I think this is all that really needs to be said. Does anyone really thing Madoff or Martha Stewart were acting out of desperation? More to the point, a good amount (I don't know if it's the majority, does someone have stats?) of fraud and theft is committed against people from a similar or lower economic stratum than the offender. Poor people are, from everything I know, vastly more likely to be the victims of property crimes than the rich, so even if it's done out of desperation, don't pretend it's even the least bit just. Desperate people go after easy targets.

Normally it's pedantic to point out that there are no criminals, only people who committed crimes, but seeing as meat sweats decided to grace us /w he posting...

meat sweats posted:There are people who have it in them to break into someone else's house and steal poo poo to pawn for cash, and people who don't. They, of course, do this because they are criminals. I wasn't addressing you in that post for a reason.
