Stealing is never having to say you're sorry

Thief says "sorry for stealing from you. Here, keep a few singles."

Can we get an apology from the government that does the same thing?

The government forces us to hand over the lion's share of our wealth through Payroll, Medicare, Social Security, Sales, inflation and all the hidden taxes. The government says I'll only rob 60% of your money so you can still get by for the next week when I rob you again.

Can you forgive this guy for stealing since he probably is giving the money to someone who needs it? Or would you lock him up because he stole the money, rather than ask for help and have the money donated to him voluntarilly.

Maybe this owner would forgive him once. Like we forgave President Lincoln who never asked for income taxes again.

But the more someone who is ostensibly trying to help steals the more he will feel entitled and the more ruthless he will become to push away the guilt. Just like our government has become with income taxes.

Democrats/Liberals say it's ok to steal for a good cause. That's Socialism and it's immorality is rotting our society.

Government is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.-Frederic Bastiat, French Economist (1801-1850)
