Now if he had gone into the Temple itself and overturned the sacrifice chalices or made off with a Menorah, that would have been a real shanda. We'd probably still be hearing about it today.

Except that economic strikes aren't effective anymore. The mega billionaires won't feel much even if we were to actually execute such a mass strike. They are insulated from it. It would likely hurt the people we want to help.
