Loanshaking and gambling on trial!

The audacity of the State has no bounds. First they claim without evidence nor citation of fact that the 37 people indicted are part of he Mafia. But I doubt this. It is like those they claim to be Terrorists or Communist or whatever is in vogue at any particular time in history.
In this case there is just a lumping together of all 37 people and voila. Mafia indicted along with their 37 champions.
For what?
Loansharking and Gambling?
But this is the basis, the foundation of the Capitalist Economic system. Capitalism is born from, and survives and thrives on loansharking and gambling. And the Capitalist' gamble lost! The states were high and still are. Bankruptcies, foreclosures, eradication of IRAs and savings. The collapse of entire countries~ The list is endless. And it doesn't stop.
We are encouraged every day to spend, to barrow, to gamble, to play the lottery; for what? For capitalism to survive.
Making money from money is the essence of Capitalism "Making your money grow" is it's motto.
Capitalism frowns on the distribution of wealth and goods. It calls those who receive lazy, unsophisticated......... a drain on the system. The entitlement programs are not considered part of Capitalism. They are deemed a necessary evil required for the perpetuation of Capitalism. (To my way of thinking Medicaid, unemployment insurance are like the band aids that cover the evidence while the sores fester.)
This trial of the 37 self appointed CEO of the 99 percent can bring to light the hypocrisy of the rulers, the champions of law and order while putting Capitalism on trial.
