anansi133One kind of justice for those guys, another kind of justice for everyone else...
It occurs to me that you could graph the typical take from the typical mugging, burglary, and embezzlement, and chart the likelihood of punishment. I'm certain that the more money you steal, the chance of going to jail decreases.
The next question is, where's the break point? How high should I set my sights in order to minimize my chances of getting caught?
I imagine that if you totaled all the money taken by thieves who've gotten caught, it would still be less than the amount grabbed by the plutocracy.
