You got it. If this person committed fraud they owe damages to the victims of the fraud, not the government. If the government spills this persons blood on the street, what do you get? The only thing that happens is that the punishment for fraud is now death. Do you honestly believe it will stop here? What about the fraudster that commits $100 million worth of fraud? Should they be executed too? What about $10,000? When you apply capital punishment to civil crimes, the application can only ever be arbitrary and unjust.

Justice is supposed to make the victims whole. Calling for execution for financial crimes helps no one and gives the ruling class, the state or government, more precedent to do it to others.

It doesn't act as a deterant. Many studies back this up. Your confidance is mispleced and simply reflects your violent personality.

If they're willing to not kill this person, then don't, she's no use to anyone dead. Confiscate everything she has, and garnish all her future earnings. How can she pay her debt if they kill her?

I asked why they can't afford it. My studant loans were very clear on the terms when I signed. I recall being forced to watch a video as part of the process. When you agree to do something, I believe you should follow through. That's the foundation of society. Imagine how you'd feel if the situation was reversed: the lender didn't follow through on giving you the money they agreed to give. Wouldn't you think it was fraudulant?

I'd like to see this redone using energy instead of power. E.g is 2,400 watts during the initial heatup or when the oven reaches stable temperature? They're not taking into account the time change either.

American government actually makes more demands on their citizens. Street level China is still very laissez-faire in most cities.
