Stealing Is Corruption! by BossAyuk: 3:29pm On Dec 30, 2014
This little write-up is to clarify mediocres who have decided to format their brains into thinking that Stealing of Public Funds is not Corruption because they've decided to lick GEJ's bottom.

Number One Point

Kleptomania
Kleptomania is the inability to refrain from the urge to steal items and is done for reasons other than personal use or financial gain. First described in 1816, kleptomania is classified in psychiatry as an impulse control disorder.[1]

Now going into Government, lets see the term used to relate Kleptomania in government.

Kleptocracy, alternatively cleptocracy or kleptarchy, is a form of political and government corruption where the government exists to increase the personal wealth and political power of its officials and the ruling class at the expense of the wider population, often with pretense of honest service.

Number Two Point

Quoting Wikipedia, one of the methods/ forms of Corruption is described below:

Embezzlement, theft and fraud[edit]
Embezzlement and theft involve someone with access to funds or assets illegally taking control of them. Fraud involves using deception to convince the owner of funds or assets to give them up to an unauthorized party.

I wonder why anybody in his/her right state of mind would hold an argument that Stealing of Public Funds is not Corruption. It's very hilarious as well as pathetic. sad
