Something else that bothers me.

The reason people justify stealing, is that they don't think others will pay for things they think are important.

They fundementally don't trust their fellow man to do the right thing, so they demand that they be forced to, so that they themselves don't have to pay more.

Selfishness + theft (using violence if necessary). Yet the same people tell me that burglars and muggers are evil and should be locked up.

I just don't get it anymore.
