That was the entire point of my post: theft and robbery are not the same; robbery is theft + use/threat of violence.

And then you used the analogy of breaking into a house when nobody's home. And I pointed out that carries stiffer penalties than wage theft, despite not involving the use or threat of violence against a person.

Your attempt to split hairs to justify the near complete lack of punishment for wage theft is not succeeding.
