- wolverine876 5y agoWho are the "lower classes" that do business internationally and are prosecuted by the US Departmet of Justice?
- a4isms 5y agoThis is unproductive quibbling. If I, a middle-class independent contractor, attempt to bribe a government employee to award me a contract, I am going to jail. If someone with even lesser means attempts to bribe a social worker to award them welfare of some kind, they are going to jail. That is the discrepancy that matters.
- wolverine876 5y ago> This is unproductive quibbling. No need to take a shot at the other comment; maybe they just don't understand you. I didn't know who you meant; 'lower classes' is a vague term, especially in context of foreign corrupt practices.

- pure_simplicity 5y agoA surprisingly vacuous quote that continues the conservative/right-wing as pejorative quote while obfuscating the real problem. The real problem is elitism and corruption. Compare the treatment of Donald Trump versus Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. Why is the conservative in the out group and the liberal in the in group?
