Stealing is stealing you dolt.
Of course it is which is why you wrote…
The penalties for stealing should be decided with regards to the specifics of each individual case.
Moron!
Do you honestly believe there should be a law for the rich and a law for the poor?
Do you honestly believe that there already isn’t? perfect example, vagrancy. Who is more likely to need to sleep under a bridge? A rich man or a poor man? How come when OJ is brought up on double murder charges the death penalty is taken off the table before he even steps into court? How come when the dupont heir kills (premeditated)a man (olympic wrestler) because the wrestler won’t be his boyfriend the death penalty isn’t even considered? Any non rich person would be facing the death penalty. How come when some non rich person steals from 7/11 Law enforcement break down his door for 300 dollars but Bernie Madoff or the Tyco boys steal a billion each they arrange a meeting to “turn themselves in?”
You live in your fuckin bubble and think the wealthy are oh so put upon but what it comes down to is you don’t have the first fuckin clue because you are what you hate. you live at home and are bill free and don’t have a fuckin job because it’s inconvenient to your life style. you do nothing for society but leech, just because don’t actively take as much as others means nothing when you don’t do anything to help make it better. you simply exist. Way to go “job creator”
If a “poor” person steals, then their method of stealing will most likely involve violence and the potential loss of life - ie they’re probably going to use a weapon of some sort.
you’re right because the threat of violence from the presence of a weapon Always does way more damage than a mouse on a keyboard and/or a stock report. yeah, why a shove a gun in someones face when you can get them to shove one in their own mouth? genius.
The penalty for sticking a gun in one’s face and demanding to hand over the goods or risk having one’s brains decorating the back wall is not comparable to me “conning” you out of your savings by advising you to invest in a scheme I have started.
Completely comparable. especially since your scheme DOES way more damage than the threat of violence.
Argue all you like but it just isn’t.
Oh of course the pseudo intellectual that is Peligro has spoken. Get a job, ass.
Socialism seeks to promote equality among people by providing them with any number of social social benefits. Examples of benefits that individuals in a socialist society are provided are educational, health care, and care for the elderly and the vulnerable. Socialism means paying for things without necessarily expecting a financial return, just for the greater good. One of the pros of socialism is that it seems to be a way of achieving slow, but peaceful, progress. That is, at least, a goal of socialism.
I don’t need a lecture in socialism I know what it is and what I’m proposing is not the same. I have an actual education not a TeeVee opinion like yourself. All your right wing heroes pine to go back to the prosperity of the 50’s when everything was great and there was plenty of money. What they don’t tell you is that prosperity came with a 70% tax bracket to the upper 1%. Didn’t know that did you? of course you didn’t cause your a little robot with no sense of history or social identity who lives without an original thought in world. You’re no better than a goddamn parrot.
HOWEVER…
Socialism is economically inefficient as it does not reward entrepreneurs. Instead of rewarding entrepreneurs for creating wealth, it punishes them by making them pay higher taxes. Socialism can actually lower the living standards of all by not rewarding work and by making public assistance available to more than the neediest.
Nobody is talking about punishing anybody it’s capping the “rewards.” if you could see past the “liberal media” your so fuckin indoctrinated into perhaps you would have a thought of your own. Moron!
ie. "Hey great work developing that new technology or that new vaccine. Took you ten years, huh?!?! Oh, you want to reap the benefits of your hard work?? You evil, greedy, capitalist pig!! The government will take over from here thanks. We’ll see that technology or that vaccine goes where it belongs and that the people receive their just share. Now fuck off back to the lab and your $13 / hour job.
Not even close Mr. slippery slope. Please learn something before you spout off at the keyboard with your standard brainwash. You really haven’t said anything that the TeeVee doesn’t scream at everyone everyday. How profound.
This goes for any member of society be they rich or be they poor.
Not for everyone, Moron.
Are you honestly going to sit there and tell me that the only way to get rich these days is to “screw people over”? If so you are quite the warped, pin-headed individual I always hoped you weren’t.
Ever heard behind every great fortune is a great crime? You are constantly the retard that I wished you weren’t.
When was the last time you were paid by a poor person??
When was the last time a rich person paid their work force what they were worth?
The working classes are noble and true and the successful entrepreneurs are scum bag pigs worthy of death??!?!
NO thick head!! just the ones that take advantage.
[quote]Boy you need a lesson in history. We’ve heard that shit before haven’t we?[/reply]
No you haven’t because you never know what you are talking about. you set up strawman after strawman an come along with a light breeze to knock them over and show how supreme you are when you have no clue the amount of logical fallacies that come tumbling out of that warbled jelly bean that passes for your brain.
Get a clue you dumb fuck and understand what’s been written rather than just jumping to conclusions on what you think you know.
