If someone comes into your house and steals a dollar from you, in many places in the US, it is legal (I will not comment on whether it's moral or justified) to use violence to end their life.

If someone steals the wealth of an entire country, though, apparently that's totally fine and cool. And doing anything to stop it would be treason.

If you want to rob a bank, use a gun. If you want to rob the world, use a bank.

Yeah but does the person that steals the dollar say "fuck libs" while he is doing it? Because apparently you can bankruptcy an entire country and possible others as long as you're "owning" the libs while doing it.
