By letting the capitalistic class write the laws we let them dictate the morality of the country. (lemmy.world)

Does anyone really go to jail for wage theft though? Especially at the same severity that walking out with $100 till bucks would?

From my perspective, it seems like the boss gets a slap on the wrist the first time, while the worker gets fired and carted off to jail the first time.

I think that's the point of this meme, but there are some nuances involved (aka why does the law treat these people differently? I think there may be a reason having to do with intent here, but that is discussion outside of the scope of what this meme is getting at.)
