Sometimes we forget the scale of theft that the Wall Street crowd perpetrates upon America.
If Obama loses this election it will be because some people think the theft of a pizza is worse than stealing a billion dollars, which is what most of the judicial system, with all our technology, video records, emails, computer files, and other techniques has yielded us in terms of evidence to put away master thieves.
Let's try to put a few hundred master thieves in prison for 25 to life if Obama gets re-elected, maybe starting with Mitt Romney and Paul Liar Ryan.

(480 posts)Let me add one more layer to this. The guy who stole the pizza is going to prison to become a permanent unit of profit for the prison industrial complex. The various businesses that comprise the prison industrial complex lobbied to make the 3 Strikes and You're Out program a reality because every human being that gets locked up permanently is a perpetual unit of profit.
So in America not only are the wealthy given special protection by the criminal justice system, the same system is used to turn the crimes of the poor into profits for the wealthy. We have the highest rate of incarceration per capita n the world. This is the true Reagan legacy. It's like we're living in per-revolutionary France, we're just pacified with smart phones.
