trafficking in stolen goods

Bush Proposes Ceding Federal Land to District - but who gave him the land in the first place? Was it theirs to give? And who created its value? Was the land (or its value) created by Bush, or his government, or their predecessors? If not, it is stolen.

Why do we waste time chasing petty thieves when the biggest thieves are allowed to run the country? And this is not an attack on Bush in particular - theft is the basis of every modern economy, no matter who is in power.
