Go work at any retail or food service job for a well known company. You'll find constant theft and shrinkage from employees just not tracking loss of product. Many people on forums like this act like it's because that class of people are less trustworthy or incapable of delaying actions for future benefits. That may well be true for some of the population, but I saw a large portion of employees whose viewpoint was, "Why wouldn't I do this? The company doesn't even pay me enough to live". I saw many times where it only took one bad week where someone went hungry for a few meals before they started stealing food or medicine. It won't take much for that viewpoint to spread as more and more people get pushed into the "have nots" group instead of the "haves"
