  • You got it. If this person committed fraud they owe damages to the victims of the fraud, not the government. If the government spills this persons blood on the street, what do you get? The only thing that happens is that the punishment for fraud is now death. Do you honestly believe it will stop here? What about the fraudster that commits $100 million worth of fraud? Should they be executed too? What about $10,000? When you apply capital punishment to civil crimes, the application can only ever be arbitrary and unjust.






  • I think it’s more due “corporatism”, where government and certain privileged large corporations work together to enrich themselves at the sake of others. Technically not really capitalism, which is just a system of trade which uses capital rather than barter to facilitate trade. It’s important to be clear on these things if we want to fix problems.
