Accepting fraud encourages fraud and demoralizes people who are playing by the rules just to watch fraudsters pass them by in life.
- Waterluvian 5y ago"Accepting fraud encourages fraud" is a sensible argument if you live in a society that is breeding fraudsters. I don't think the existence of an opportunity for fraud creates fraudsters. I think it's more a consequence of a society that is failing to equip its people with the education, skills, safety nets, and opportunities necessary to live a moral life. This line of thinking creates a feedback loop, bolstered by systemic racism and poverty bigotry: the riffraff will abuse these systems so we won't offer them, or we'll make them all but impossible to utilize. And then those individuals struggle and are left with little choice when they're drowning.
