Shocking Question

I've often marveled at the juxtaposition or right and wrong. For example: we would put a person (who is poor and has few resources) in prison for stealing a loaf of bread at the super market, yet we seem to let business executives (with wealth, privilege, and political influence) steal vast sums of money from people's retirement plans and the like without giving it much of a thought. Or, try stealing a gallon of grotesquely over-priced gas from the gas pump. In our society we often ignore the question: "Who's stealing from whom?" We replace that question with, "What will the market bear?" Just how far can we go in our quest for greed?

This political cartoon, by Mike Luckovich, posted at AZspot, brilliantly asks another really pointed question.
