Who deserves the harsher punishment?

[Coburn In 2012]

First of all, if B is the wealthy success you say he is -- his "crime" is highly unlikely.  Wealthy people are hard working members of the earning class.  Theirs are not the faces you see on the evening news for holding up banks or liquor stores or stabbing their "baby daddy".

Obviously, as with the Enron criminals, such crimes DO occur but they are very very very rare indeed.  Its the left wing media and the whiners like Olberman and Madcow who keep the stereotype of the greedy rich alive.  Heck, it's the rich who keep our museums and orchestras and charities going with there generous donations.  So yes if a rich executive commits a crime he should pay the same sentence as any other thief.

But realistically if we are being honest about who the crooks and criminals are in our society, criminal A is truest to life.
