I'm reading the news about all the millions and millions of dollars that have been spent that don't seem to have a thing to do with the agency spending them and the word, "stolen," keeps resonating in my mind.
These agencies stole from the treasury to pay for this stuff.
Stealing from the treasury under color of authority should be treason.
If it's done with the intention of fundamentally changing the governing rules and mores of the nation, yes, it's treason.
ReplyDeleteTo line one's pocket is just theft.
And here's where it gets sticky. Lots of civil courts have determined roughly what the value of a human life is. So steal more money than that said value and get charged with capital theft, subject to life in prison without parole or death.
