[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"There's a flawed philosophical notion that if you steal a dollar from a poor man you've harmed him more than if you steal it from a rich man. That's a foolish idea, because you've stolen the same value from each."</blockquote> Okay, differences of opinion on how wealth should be distributed are one thing, but that statement was patently absurd. If you steal a dollar from a man who only has a dollar, you've stolen [i]all his money[/i]. If you steal a dollar from a man who has $10 billion, he probably won't even notice. If you honestly believe that stealing 100% of someone's money is [i]exactly as harmful[/i] as stealing 0.00000001%, just because the absolute number of dollars is the same, that's really messed up.
