But it does not always do this. Sometimes the law defends plunder and participates in it. Thus the beneficiaries are spared the shame, danger, and scruple which their acts would otherwise involve. Sometimes the law places the whole apparatus of judges, police, prisons, and gendarmes at the service of the plunderers, and treats the victim when he defends himself as a criminal. In short, there is a legal plunder
This legal plunder may be only an isolated stain among the legislative measures of the people. If so, it is best to wipe it out with a minimum of speeches and denunciations and in spite of the uproar of the vested interests.

Some stains won’t wash out. Devil of the blue states stain.
Run, Hillaryous, run.
Chelase has no job--and her husband is floundering in the hedge fund business. So how do they afford a $10 million condo, the costly furnishings......not to mention the high overhead and upkeep? And living expenses?
Chelsea and hubby Marc Mezvinsky's $10 million condo.
============================================
Chelsea's husband runs a hedge fund that gained access to investors who had ties to the Clintons---even as reports surfaced that Mezvinsky's hedge fund had "underwhelming" returns.
The WSJ reports extensively on the fund's underperformance since its inception. Also reported was Mezvinsky's mediocre investing and strategizing. Back in 2011, Mezvinsky, now 37, and two former Goldman Sachs colleagues Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon began raising money for Mezvinsky's Eaglevale Partners LP hedge fund. Some of Eaglevale's investors included Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein. Blankfein, a slavish Democrat supporter, said he had "always been a fan of Hillary Clinton."
==============================================
The Clinton/Goldman Sachs connection sounds awfully familiar. Then-Pres Clinton's WH
aide Rahm Emanuel also worked as a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.....both at the same time.
Not to forget this....
Then-US Sen Clinton and US Sen Jon Corzine. Corzine was fresh out of Goldman Sachs
executive suite. Remember, Wall Street makes money disappear faster than a cream puff at a
Weight Watchers weigh-in.
