Galtian Supermen, Job Ceators...
or, shameless, wanton criminals. I re-post, you decide. I had a discussion with someone last week regarding the prevalence of immoral, unethical behavior among the "successful" in our society. The Koch brothers (and thier band of merry thieves) are Exhibit "A," and I think I can rest my case. These folks commit crimes on a vast scale, undermining the rule of law, and making a fortune at it. Meanwhile, a young, unemployed man is doing time along with murderers because that young man sold cannabis.

The pot thing pisses me off. Those convicted of marijuana related crimes spend more time in prison than murderers and true criminals.
ReplyDeleteThe Koch's and their ilk will never be punished because the middle class erroneously thinks that the top 1% of this country cares about them. Of course this is a generalization, but we've had this discussion before.
