Confusion Over Free Enterprise & Private Property

A SHARP FOCUS:
The Promulgation of Theft by the 1%ers v. the Right of Preservation & Expansion of Personal Property by the Victimized 99% Long Deprived of Fair Compensation for Honest Labor
"A pickpocket is obviously a champion of private enterprise. But it would perhaps be an exaggeration to say that a pickpocket is a champion of private property. The point about Capitalism and Commercialism, as conducted of late, is that they have really preached the extension of business rather than the preservation of belongings; and have at best tried to disguise the pickpocket with some of the virtues of the pirate."
G.K. Chesterton, in his book "The Outline of Sanity" (1927)
