(4,298 posts)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?

(94,377 posts)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.
