double standards
| I'm asking because i can't understand how leading republican politicians and their supporters/sympathizers notoriously defend the murderer from case A while demand loudly death penalty for the murder in case B. It's the same people who always whine about double standards they find in the liberals/left/woke camp while selling themselves as the defenders of logic and reason.
| It is consistent by taking into account the relative worth of victim and murderer to society. First case is a net positive, second is a net negative. People might argue about that but at the end of the day this is the main principle.

>First case is a net positive, second is a net negative.
Are you really sure it isn't the other way around? The person in second case did measurable more harm to humanity than the person in the first case. It's the economic-crime version of serial killer vs. a genocidal mass murderer.
I'll never understand why people in the rightist camp are obsessed about hanging the serial killer while they play down or even glorify the mass murderer.

Really rich people don't store their money in ordinary banking accounts. They distribute and hide their wealth in huge networks consisting of several microstates a.k.a. tax oases, various "philanthropic" foundations, sports and art. So they cant say to the countries they are registered in "I'm sooooo poooor, I'm totally not able to pay taxes"
Just have a look on tax transactions of real-estate nepobaby Donald Trump. I mean since he is President they're public aren't they?
| Most goverments (and companies) have more detailed economic (and personal) information about the "poorer" 90% of population while the wealth of actual wealthy top 10% is only based on assumptions.
If people would use their brains to understand the dimensions of wealth (and power) distribution, they would go billionaire smashing helter skelter.

Most of the ultra-rich wealth is stored in real estate or stock and very rarely in art or sports. Regular rich people tend to use bank accounts or tax oasis if they want to hide their wealth but it can be very hard to actually get that money out if the sum is large enough because they're scamming you.

While you're not wrong it's important to understand that real estate doesn't produce actual value that goes beyond pure speculation. And "stock" is pretty diverse, it can be pretty much be everything and serve entirely different purposes than just parking/hiding money and pure speculation. Sports, Arts and Foundations are important because of their legal status, especially regarding taxation and regulations.
| Real-Estate property is visible and measurable. Stock property is at least known if a share is big enough to grant someone direct influence to company policies. Those people are mostly known and some even stand in the public spotlight. Nevertheless there is a significant amount of hidden wealth beside stock market and real estate. I would call it "legalized organized crime".

| Let's say there is a country where one can get death penalty for murder. Wouldn't it be inconsistent to make enforcement depend on who was the murderer and the victim?
E.g.
A) a policeman murders a (black) person (maybe a small pickpocket or drug dealer), he gets away with 1-3 years jail in probation while certain people even excuse his murder as "official duty".
B) a civilist murders a (white) multi-millionaire, who made his fortune at cost of hundred thousands of people.
