I find that alot of right wingers confuse "Criminals" with the "poor". Those who scam medicaid, medicare, and/or the welfare system are "ciminals", not the "poor". This is just like criminals and the wealthy. Bernie maddoff was a criminal, the executives of ENRON that went to jail were criminals, all the doctors that are committing medicare fraud are criminals.
Now all of the congressmen and women that are still profiting off of insider trading because the law hasn't been changed yet, are not criminals. All of the companies that got bailed out by congress like AIG are not criminals, and all of the companies scamming the tax system through loopholes are not criminals. And every executive that writes himself a largest in history bonus check with the taxpayer money at Fannie and Freddie they aren't breaking the law either, just ask Newt back when he was cashing consulting checks.
