Why Does the Right Focus So Much on the Penny Ante Street Criminal and not the Criminals who steal Peoples Life savings?

[AHZ]

Free trade? LOL. A concept that does not exist and never will and not just because of the left.




Tariffs. Chapter one in the free trade manual I guess.

why are Dems globalist now tho?

In America citzens consistently have been victimized because of many scams initiated primarily by rich white men who were greedy. Junk bonds, mortgage-backed securities, credit default swaps, and derivatives are all done by legalized gamblers who were primarily white, better known as stockbrokers in the main casino on Wall Street. These people have stolen trillions of dolars and have ruined milions of lives. Yet we post loads of vitriol about the penny ante street thief who takes a necklace or robs a few hundred dollars from the 7-Eleven. Maybe it’s time to stop talking about these guys and start taking about harsher punishment for white colar criminals that can take down an entire country like they did in 2007, who destroy lives by robbing people of their life savings.

From Enron To Madoff, Learn About The Most High-Profile White Collar Cases In US History​

Charges for white-collar criminal activity in 2022 were extraordinarily rare — just one percent.

During the fiscal year 2022, only 4,180 white-collar defendants were prosecuted. The number of prosecutions peaked in 2011, when prosecutions hit 10,162 — nearly two and a half times the current levels, according to the TRAC report.

Here’s a look at the most high-profile white-collar cases in U.S. history, brought to life in documentaries, TV shows, books, podcasts and movies.

I’m sure we can agree it’s rewarding to see to the black BLM con artists spending time in jail.

Beyond me. I'm not really even sure what that is supposed to mean.

 

[rampart]

Correct.




It gets a bit complicated when people argue "left" and "right". Bernie at the time did want prosecutions. He was turned away and Hillary was picked. Hillary who never saw a banker she wouldn't kneel down for.

the "left" and "right" thing is an oversimplified description of a considerably less linear ideological space.

even issue by issue the terms can be meaningless.

yes, ms clinton's neoliberal tendencies, split the party and allowed the guy who partied through his economics classes to add a few trillion in debt without any visible improvement in the general situation.

but tariffs ARE best for the working class.

access to cheap goods aside, globalist stupidity is a race to the bottom for working people.

no.

those are substantive points.

open borders and tariffs are serious issues to be discussed.

Bloomberg - Are you a robot?

If you consider higher prices good for the working class.

access to cheap goods aside, globalist stupidity is a race to the bottom for working people.

Trump was part of this race also.

when all the jobs are also kept in the country, the people can afford it. the allure of cheap goods fades when your income is zero.

allowing human slave labor on the international labor market will ultimately enslave all humanity.

this is all true.

White Man crimes vs Black Man crimes

White man in prison for destroying lives is abuse of the justice system
Black man in prison for shoplifting a can of soup is justice.

"Petty Crime" often leads to violence and death just as it did a couple of days ago when a guy took a beer from a Bodega and got stabbed to death by the clerk.

Secondly "petty crime" leads to huge business losses to small business owners putting everything they have into their business.

Third, the longer term result of "petty crime" is the closing of food stores, retail outlets, gas stations etc in high "petty crime" areas leaving the local residents very lacking in resources and job opportunities.

So what does forcing people into poverty and stripping them of their home and all their possessions lead to?
HMMMM...,
"Petty crime you (refuse to) say (because it craps all over your belief that Black people are genetically criminals) "

Cause and effect.
ROOT CAUSE

 

[Dadoalex]

Because nobody died in the Enron and Madoff scandals, but people die daily with "penny ante" street crime.

People who lost their life savings and were forced into poverty didn't die?

The willingness to lie...

Are these white stockbrokers walking up to random people on Wall Street putting a gun to their head to engage in a stock trade? No, the victim is unfortunately willingly engaging with the scamming stockbroker.

Contrast that with a person wearing high end basketball shoes who loses their life because someone with a gun wants the shoes. Or, how about the small business owner who has poured their life savings to open up a market convenience store in an urban neighborhood needs to worry not only looking down the barrel of a gun because someone wants some cash but they also need to worry about flash mobs looting the store for some Skittles or burning it down because some criminal got shot for not heeding police commands.

The cause of street crime is poverty
Enron forced tens of thousands into poverty by stealing their savings, their lively hoods.
So, yes, your heroes caused the street crime about which you whine incessantly.

Instead of tariffs which only drives up prices and as we saw actually costs the country jobs when China simply looked elsewhere for the products America was providing it, maybe we should concentrate on the businesses sending the jobs overseas?

We have a politician advertising "China stealing" our jobs locally. Pisses me off every time I see it. China never stole a single job from here.

 

[rampart]

access to cheap goods aside, globalist stupidity is a race to the bottom for working people.

you will have to find a "neoliberal" for the "pro free trade" argument.

as a progressive i find that trade policy is a moderately effective tool of foreign policy.

Beyond me. I'm not really even sure what that is supposed to mean.

"globalization" is defined in several ways,

i might think that devolving control of the planet to a cabal or "trust" of immortal, unregulatable, untaxable spreadsheets who can decide which of we mere "people" may live and how well is less than optimal. but

shouldn't we have some venue to decide how our species responds to a meteorite impact or an alien spacecraft?

 

[Dadoalex]

OP foaming at the mouth again .

It's Mother's Day .

Why don't the obsessives like IM 0.2 explain to happy white families why black mothers are incapable of getting Black dads to stay with them after whelping ?

How about you rub the only two neurons you have together ( no idiot, not masturbate) , and describe for us how a racist idiot like you came up with that extra neuron?

some cheap crap importation is ok.

but he still recognizes that tariffs are best long term.

that shows his ability to see past his own considerations, actually.
