I don't understand not prosecuting theft at all. There are like 2 things which are super clearly bad and the government should stop (1) theft and (2) violence.

People shouldn't get life sentences for petty theft, but they should get a pretty severe punishment.
- eh9 5y agoYou need to understand that Madoff is one thing and the people stealing formula because they don’t have the means are on entirely different universes. Punishing these people “severely” will generally lead to the same kind of behavior happening. You can’t punish these people out of poverty.
