    Wage theft (when employers don’t pay their employees what they’re owed) in the US accounts for more stolen value every year than grand theft auto, larceny, petty theft, and breaking and entering combined. Yet wage theft is not considered a crime.

    It’s the same story all over the world. The real issue isn’t the economic system but rather greedy people in positions of power with no accountability.

      The original comment did not suggest any wage theft happening, and the original comment from the communist commando treated all employers as thieves.
