Poll: Do you think stealing from the poor is worst than stealing from the rich?

[BoogieManFL]

I would say it cannot be equal in most situations because it would cause more harm and hardship to someone who is poor than to someone who is wealthy.

Of course it's worse to steal from the poor, being poor means you're economically vulnerable. When I type "economically vulnerable" I mean that a person's life is in danger because of their economic status. A rich person is in danger of losing a high standard of living, a poor person is in danger of actually dying.

It's the moral difference between the questions, "Would you take a check for $10,000 if it meant killing somebody?" and "Would you take a check for $10,000 if it meant ruining somebodies year?"

What if that rich man is an employer who now, because of the robbery, can't afford to pay all his employees? Depending on how much you take, You might have hurt a dozen poor people by robbing that rich man.

Because rich men have all the money from their business in their own personal account?
