I agree. Guess I should have put a /s on the slogan. But it's still taking a portion of something that is technically owned by one person or group for the betterment of the community.
Some people see that as theft and so would call it stealing even though there isn't a law against it. My point is that this question is asked from a particular vantage point and what constitutes theft and the law may be different from one person to another.
Some people also think the earth is flat, it has nothing to do with reality.
