But consider some of the statements here and elsewhere about help for the poor and unemployed. Consider the media coverage and public attention, along with the untold amounts spent to fight street crime and fact that some might even feel thieves should just be shot. On the other hand we see virtually no media coverage and little outrage over the huge frauds related to the banking/mortgage industry or other "white collar crimes". We put thieves who break into a home or use a weapon to steal in prison, (along with people who do much less) while those who steal millions with a pen and lies get a slap on the wrist and a chance to do it again.  "We hang the petty thieves and appoint the great ones to public office.
