Literally stolen. Not socialist phrasing. Illegally obtained.

This article doesn't even question the economic system per se, just that it's way too easy for the already rich to ignore its rules.

This type of criminality is woefully underpersecuted and underrepresented in tough on crime PR stunts, yet it makes a much larger number of $$$ than any theft or drug sales or even robbery.

White collar crime, I guess one should call it, and it starkly contrasts with the idea of crime that the masses are distracted with: violent, random, dirty.
