    let’s not pretend that people aren’t stealing to make some money

    When you rob one grocery store of a 10 lb brisket, its called shoplifting.

    But when you rob every grocery store of 10% of their net revenue, its called paying your shareholders a dividend.

          For sure. And the mountain is a big one. But when you’re talking about moles digging up your garden, someone pointing to the mountain and telling how that’s much bigger than the molehills doesn’t seem that relevant.
