'Thieving and connivance'

In response to the letter “Left vilifies rich” in Sunday's Forum, the writer was correct about one thing — and only one. He stated, “I don't get it.” And truly, he doesn't.

It was hedge fund managers (and other Wall Street executives) who ruined the lives of millions of American taxpayers and nearly caused the total collapse of the world economy through their thieving and connivance.

These people aren't simply denying food and shelter to widows and children; they're stealing it from them.

It would take a pure idiot to wish for more of the same — unless, of course, you were one of them.
