When billionaire Jeff Bezos extorts money from a city, or state, so he can be persuaded to locate one of his facilities there, I see that as looting the local taxpayers.
When the 1% but enough politicians so they can write the tax code to favor them, I see that as looting the taxpayers.
When WalMart hands out information showing their underpaid associates how to apply for welfare, I see that as looting the taxpayers.
So yes, I am against all looting, not just the unsanctioned and non-approved type of looting.
