Anyway, I wasn't talking about how much we spend, I was talking about the fact that millions of low lifes out there scam the system.

Tony, if online piracy has taught you anything it should be that if you give people free shit, they will take it.
I think everyone agrees that people scam the system, the problem that many try to point out, is the guys on the right "ONLY" focus on the low income whom scam while ignoring the scamming done by big business. In fact the right, almost tries to justify it when it's done by big business or the wealthy while damming the low incomes thieves.. Yet both are cheats & thieves.

I would love to flip the table on the whole 1% & 99% deal. I know how many on the right love to use the quote that the 1% pay more taxes.

I wonder if that same thing works in reverse on the scamming the system. I just wonder about all the tax dollars that are scammed in one form or another whom makes up the biggest recipient of that scammed money?

Do we really think it's those lazy rednecks in trailers or blacks in govt subsided apts with big screen TV's, or is it rich white CEO's & their corporations with off shore bank accounts that hide their investments over seas while getting maximum tax deductions? Whom do you really think the biggest criminals are?
