I don't get it, why can't they commit fraud? Congress is doing it, scotus is doing it, the presidents do it, the wealthiest people in the world do it, everyone they are told to look up to and respect are celebrated for it. Why wouldn't they think they could commit fraud? It's the American Way.
I've been saying for a while, it's amazing how far down the chain the official malfeasance has spread so fast. It's at city level now. Of course they're going to try to get in on the action.
Oh! Oh! I got this one! *raises hand*
Because the general punishment for the wealthy is a fine that's a fraction of a fraction of their net worth, while the same fine for a non-wealthy person would be enough to bankrupt them!
After all...
I wish I had the wherewithal to take out hundreds of thousands of dollars in ppe loans during the pandemic like members of congress did that I didn’t have to pay back
Companies are so enamored with profits, they commit fraud.
Executives are so enamored with personal profiteering, they commit fraud.
But individual poors? Fucking criminals.
What is it they say about a fine? Legal for the privileged.
Not to mention GenZ watched their GenX parents have the Boomer-instilled loyalty to corporations bite them in the ass over and again during the last 20 years of wealth transfer - instability, austerity, job loss, home loss, etc. Nobody watches that and then goes “hard work is how you get ahead”
