This guy out in Colorado was caught robbing a bank. At his trial, he argued as follows:
He said bank robbery was good for the country. Robbers had to buy weapons and bullets and that helped our economy. Because he had been successful in robbing banks in the past, it had induced the banks to hire more guards, and that lowered the unemployment rate, and resulted in more income taxes being paid to the State and to the federal government, helping both to reduce their fiscal deficits. Further, some of the guards who were hired could not afford to pay health insurance premiums, but were now covered under the Bank-paid insurance program under Obamacare. And finally he argued that most of the money in Banks is deposited there by rich people, so all he was really dong was transferring money from those who didn't need it to someone who did. Him.
The Judge agreed with him and found him not guilty, saying that bank robbery was indeed good for our country, that the robber's arguments were precisely the same as those that support all of our country's great welfare programs, that the robber was doing no more than redistributing the wealth of the country and ought be commended for being such a good American.
There is a lot we can all learn from this wonderful story, don't you think?
