Okay, I will only address the biggest issue of theft then. DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe ripped the IBEW (the elctrical workers union) for millions. This money does not represent the the rank and files attitude in politics, a great many from the IBEW are to the right.

But even as he questions the president's credibility on the issue of corporate responsibility, there are questions about McAuliffe's own past as a private businessman ... In the late 1990s, some of McAuliffe's business ventures came under investigation by the U.S. Department of Labor, which filed suit against two labor-union officials, both of them with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers pension fund, for entering into questionable business arrangements with McAuliffe. Both officials later agreed to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars in penalties for their actions, and the union itself had to reimburse its pension fund by nearly $5 million.

There may not be a great deal of violence in this article to look at, but when you relize that those same dollars (and their compounded interest and access to "leveraged" dollars at 8 to 1) are being used against you, who needs violence? Remember the business "golden rule" he who has the gold, makes the rules.
