A banker, a janitor, and an immigrant sit down at a table with 20 doughnuts. The banker grabs 19 of them for himself, then he tells the janitor "watch out, that immigrant is going to steal your doughnut!" 😏
The better scenario would be the banker created 19 doughnuts and the janitor earned one doughnut. Is it a problem if someone come in and steals doughnuts? The assumption that those with money somehow took it from others and we should be glad when bad things happen to them and counter productive, factually invalid and morally wrong.

All people who work create value. The banker is no different than a baker and certain is in no way a thief.

Cool, Contenchess. Prospective employers will look quite kindly on your zeal and enterprise, put that best foot forward. Getting ahead in the world starts with seeing yourself as does that would-be employer.
Why don't cons see a criminal for what he is?

No, that’s not true. Digging holes and refilling them does not create value for example though it is a good way to stimulate an economy by redistributing money from rich to poor.

If he’s no different to the baker why does he get 19 donuts out of 20?
