[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Police officers tried to pull over a guy who was on probation with an ankle monitor and high on drugs. He ran off, they followed, he drove into a car and was killed, the police were convicted of murder. The judge in the case said the jury wasn't allowed to know the guy who ran off had an ankle monitor on and drugs in his system:

The only crime this year where Councilmembers Parker and Frumin got outraged and demanded action from the USAO was when a citizen shot a car thief.

Why doesn't anyone try to stop these criminals? Because the leadership in D.C. hasn't created a society that's a free for all with no rules. It's created a society where criminals are allowed to do whatever they like, but law abiding citizens are going to have the hammer brought down on them if they ever dare to fight back.[/quote]

You're allowed to defend yourself with reasonable force.  You can't execute someone running away from you.  Be reasonable.[/quote]

If the person running away is a thief they should be apprehended by whatever means necessary. [/quote]

I like the way you think and would love to stand outside of Wall street and shoot them as they walk away, most of even felons so it's not such a big deal. Ill even make sure they have an SEC violation or a tax fraud conviction.[/quote]

ah yes, it's always Wall Street's fault...those rich pigs, allowing small businesses to survive, financing your mortgage and car, and providing the easiest way to wealthy ever invented. So unfair![/quote]

They steal $1 billion a day. Your head is in the sand.[/quote]

$100 of corporate profit.

FED taxes 30% Sates average 8%

$100 becomes $62

$62 distributed to stockholders

Fed averages 22% (income based and type of gain) State averages 8%  
 
$100 becomes $44

$44 spent by stockholder sales tax average 6%

$100 becomes $41.

Government steals 59% of all productive profit.[/quote]

Thank you..if anyone is a crook it is Uncle Sam[/quote]

You seem like the kind of person who only looks where the light is shining.

How much of that initial "corporate profit" is attributable to government-provided features, like patent processes, surety of courts, basic infrastructure, etc.? A functional state is necessary for "corporate profits," and administering a functional state is costly.

For the record, I'm an economist, working in finance no less, and closer to the libertarian side of things than the opposite. But faulty logic used to score political points drives me nuts. [/quote]
