All Property Is Thievable...

In descending order of the magnitude of the theft:

The Federal Reserve Board tops the list, having robbed pensioners and small savers of untold billions in earning power by setting interest rates at zero. In the Fed’s defense it can be said that it didn’t keep the money, but redistributed it to relatively wealthy owners of assets such as shares and houses by driving up the value of those assets. But claiming to be a Robin-Hood-in-reverse is unlikely to sway a jury of other then hedge fund managers, themselves guilty of forcing ordinary taxpayers to part with money to make up the loss to the Treasury from its treatment of hedge fund operators’ income as if it were capital gains, taxed at a preferentially low rate.
