How many dolls and big wheels can you walk out with? and arent all the video games under lock and key and you need to pay before they give you the game>?

People who steal money from other people tend not to do enough jail time in my opinion. Why not give them 20 years each without parole?

Why not just burn them at the stake?

It's not about torture. It's about the fact that non-violent criminals tend to get light sentences even though in some cases the money they took is other people's life savings.

Jesus pardoned a thief, you want to give him 20 years without parole.

Yikes.

Stealing is already built into the price. If no one ever steals, the corporation just has more money drop to its bottom line. Go, rich guy, go!

so how much stealing is accounted for by the big wigs ? once that limit has been reached and the theft continues, at that point does it become wrong ?

It doesn't become less criminal to steal from a thrift store because the stuff they are selling they got for free.

Who gets to decide what is "criminal"? A lot of CSFMB members are reverse Robin Hoods promoting robbing the poor to give to the rich. Go, rich guys, go!

And some CSFMB members promote the reverse, yet can't be bothered to put into action the very theories they espouse

They were probably disadvantaged making minimum wage and needed a break?

Is it right or wrong to make a 2000 % markup

It isn't easy leading a revolution. That's why they don't happen every day. Also, they generally aren't driven by guys who are as comfortable as Tall Midget and me.

They also aren't driven by guys that are upset that stores are making more profit than they deserve.

This American Girl doll should be 35% less expensive! Let's destroy the system!

Right.

I know you're a college educated man. Do you ever stop to think about "systems", why they might be in place, who they benefit, if there might be a better system? Or do you just say, "That's the system! You can't challenge that!"

I know you don't think about it this way. Because I don't believe you're an evil person. But you're really promoting and making excuses for a "system" in which some people are hoarding resources and other do not have enough.

There is a lot of unfairness, and to some degree there always will be. There are better systems. I find your proposals to be even worse though.
I'm not really making excuses. I just don't think the problem with the system is that some items have high markups and rich people are making more profit than they could selling things that people don't need to buy.
