What can be done in the opinion of my fellow board members to eliminate this endless cycle of crime especially the violent crimes.

There is no such thing as wealth equality so whining that some people have more than others will do nothing but increase the whining

How do you propose we address this problem? We don’t live a in a truly free society if we reward mediocrity and punish exceptionalism.

Odd, we rewarded those who crashed the economy with billions. They destroyed their businesses and we had to bail them out.

Mediocrity? You mean like how GM was ran and cost the country billions?
