  I am afraid they do. They are on the receiving side. They are just out of the picture on the right, drooling for "their" share of your fish.

      How many received the latest email showing the billboard advertising for the lawyer?
      
      It said "just because you did it doesn't mean you're guilty".
      
      I think it was in Ferguson.

Nailed it!
Theft is a lower moral.
Government theft is a legitimized lower moral.

    Functionally, yes. But metaphorically - if you buy a 'power pallet' with your money instead of putting it in a retirement account (that the government may decide to confiscate) you are better off. So there are 'easier' baskets to hook and 'harder' baskets to hook.
    
    My comment was a jest, but I really do feel that mo'baskets'bettah.

I prefer the swimming pool image. It portrays a man taking water out of the deep side of the pool and pouring it into the shallow side. It is titled, The Progressive Method of raising the shallow side level.

  But that's taking from the same pool.
