Yes, crime is on the upswing. But it's "white collar crime" by the GOP that is raising the numbers. (Original Post) Samrob Sep 2022 OP

Discounting the growth of violent crime (especially in urban communities with high Democratic voter pools) is a great way to lose the upcoming election.

White collar crime is up just ask anyone who is renting and paying the criminal rents. Just ask the people paying outrageous prices for items that they had on the shelves for a year or more. It's criminal. But I guess if you steal millions or lie and cheat about billions it's not a crime because it wasn't a 79c pack of gum?

Its unethical. Its immoral, but its not criminal if its not against the law. And if you think it SHOULD be against the law, then you need to ask why Democratic Mayors, Governors, Presidents and legislators haven't made it criminal.

DNC polling shows that inflation is partly blamed on excessive profit taking by voters. But CRIME is still an issue of concern that Democrats haven't crafted a clear message on.

It’s just waiting there. Keeps promising to be violent. The Trumpsters have a fantasy that their end will be like Ruby Ridge. That’ll be the spark…

From 2017 through to today. He is the model of a modern major white collar criminal. And there are others to be sure. Is deceit and fraud being taught in real American business schools?

who white collar criminals would prefer to have running the government? Could it be one of their own, a fellow white collar criminal who is not really interested in prosecuting white collar crimes?
