Reply #27: Would you really call any of my three examples corrupt? [View All]

And what's really corrupt is the polarization of wealth in this world which exports wealth from poor countries, ships it to the west, and then criminalizes individuals who want to be as free as capital is to cross borders in pursuit of tiny slivers of tha wealth because they don't want to accept lives of misery and poverty.

Are you people really Democrats? You can't think of a better solution than increasing the net misery in the world?

This past summer and fall when Africans were jumping fences in spain, the BBC interviewed one of those African illegal immingrants who said that no wall is high enough that would discourage people from trying to leave certain miserable lives in Africa for even a REMOTE chance at better life in the wealthier west.

It's is so misguided to equate the kind of criminality of Enron and Abramoff -- very wealthy people trying become even wealthier -- with the criminalilty of an illegal immigrant. Think about the relationship between those two sets of people a little harder. There is a relationship between the two, but it's not the one you just drew in your post.
