Re: [Mind's Eye] Thou shalt not steal

Don I think there are a lot of people who feel and view it this way,, but to clean the problem up I think you really meed to start with the politicians but their spin on it is that they are doing nothing wrong..  and spin is not a lie or deception or cheating or being corrupt. fraud and cheating have become a way of life in the states. 

I don't agree with Sharia law but maybe in the case of politicians there could be an exception.

Identity theft. Using another's credit info to get loans and so forth. That's stealing. Fraud too. People that leave their internet connections unprotected often have neighbors using it for free. Stealing. Pirating cable, satellite, downloading copyrighted songs for free illegally. All stealing. Claiming illness or otherwise lying to receive either company or government benefits. Claiming to look for work but really sabotaging yourself by looking for jobs you aren't qualified for or are unsuited for and/or falsifying job hunting paperwork to get unemployment checks. All stealing. Forming an unholy alliance with politicians where you raise massive amounts of money for them and donate to their campaigns and in return they bilk the tax payers for billions and send some of it back to your interest group in raises or benefits. Worst kind of collusion and completely legal in the case of public unions. 

I like the Sharia law of lopping off appendages for stealing. I think it would seriously cut down on the chicanery we here in the West have to suffer through. It's getting expensive.

I have been ragging away on some other thing I am attempting to write  but several thing came across my mind that might be how many ways can you think of stealing and having people not realize they have been stolen from?

or is it how can I steal let me count the ways.
