I’d happily pay more in tax to jail every thief in the country.

Be careful that you yourself or some of your relatives don't end up in jail for white collar crime with that approach. You know less about others than you think.

I was talking more about the misguided approach of "trying to get every last criminal" by being overzealous in policing.

Par for the course for HN to misinterpret it, of course.
