>The reason we are so hard on violent criminals isn't because they stole a small amount of money or property, it's because of the violence part.
We have laws against violent activities just the same as we have laws against theft. We don't need to stop violence indirectly by policing activities associated with it.
If it's only by blurring the lines between theft and violence that we can defend the focus on property theft over wage theft, that strikes me as implicit agreement with the basic argument made by the article.
