Great post. You get to the heart of the matter quickly, which is peoples' desire to exploit others for their own benefit, and give a very useful categorization of the 3 types of criminal. It's interesting to see in all the best mafia movies and series how the mafia members consider the government to be worse than they they themselves are. And it's true. The mafia are obviously criminals but the government are worse because the scale they work on is so much bigger and the levels of deception so much deeper. And government hypocrisy is absolute. I also liked the phrase 'free range slave' to describe the current predicament of most of us.
