Is it OK to steal from the government?

Question

All these issues about immigrants in our country, im not racists but i dont agree with people comeing here because they can get paid for not working and get a free house.This is what some of them do, i know because my friend was seeing a guy who came here because life was bad where he lived, there was no work in his country and he had to live on the streets untill he managed to get enough money to come to Britain. He was claiming jobseekers, was entitled to a flat and housing benifit ,didnt contact the electric people so he lived free for the time he was here. This is a big strain on our government but nothing is being done to stop this happening time and time again. I wonder how long this is going to continue

Answer 1

No, because you are not stealing from the government, you are stealing from the tax-payer. yourself, your parents etc. The government dose not have any money of its` own.

Answer 2

It's never right to steal whether it's from the government or anyone else. Just because we see others doing it and getting away with it doesn't make it right and we should be doing all we can to set a good example and try to put things right not to follow suit.

Answer 3

everyone cheats the government, from duty fee on your holiday, to asking your accountant how you can save tax.
It just seems, when you see people regularly getting wods of cash, your wondering why you dont.
Its a free world, so go on the dole...do the same...yet you dont want to?. Its not all roses.
There are those who opt for it as a life style, and those, who are well off, and fraud, so firstly, these are 2 different problems. Lazy opportunists, and criminals.
Criminals should be locked up, and the lazy, can be changed by me and you, through our voting, and lobbying our elected representatives, for policy change.

Answer 4

The government steals from everyone and are setting a good example by putting up taxes after taxes.
