Well today being Halloween, since it is raining, and not too many kids are stopping by, I decided to share an article I came across today. It will take you back into history, on why Governments, World Leaders and so many others; have always understood the greed factor, for all the wrong reasons.
The greed factor stems back to the evolution of mankind. The motivational factors have not changed at all, when you need a quick fix, what is the fastest and easy's way to achieve that goal. You become a criminal, well achieving your financial obligation at someone else's price.

Another of history’s many lessons is that governments under pressure become thieves. And today’s governments are under a lot of pressure.
Before we look at the coming wave of asset confiscations, let’s stroll through some notable episodes of the past, just to make the point that government theft of private wealth is actually pretty common.
Ancient Rome had a rule called “prescription” that allowed the government to execute and then confiscate the assets of anyone found guilty of “crimes against the state.” After the death of Julius Caesar in 44 BC, three men, Mark Anthony, Lepidus, and Caesar’s adopted son Octavian, formed a group they called the Second Triumvirate and divided the Empire between them.
But two rivals, Brutus, and Cassius, formed an army with which they planned to take the Empire for themselves. The Triumvirate needed money to fund an army of its own and decided the best way to raise it was by kicking the prescription process into overdrive. They drew up a list of several hundred wealthy Romans, accused them of crimes, executed them and took their property.
