There is theft and then there is theft? Have you seen the 1-800-DENTIST commercial where they make it look funny that the "cube mate" gets his "free" batteries out of the supply cabinet at work? "I don't know a good dentist but I know where you can score free batteries". That's "trivial" white collar crime (versus the guys that stole the catalytic converters out of all the trucks at the engineering company where I worked Six charged in two catalytic converter theft rings) but is the attitude that leads to further unethical behavior.

In the end, a lot of things turn out to be about money but not necessarily "rich" versus "poor". The guys in the catalytic converter rings are not "rich" but they are stealing for the "easy" money? How ethical is it to have lotteries when the majority of people playing have no clue about statistics? It makes me sick when they list the "hot" numbers and "cold" numbers and there's no such thing. It's an unethical lie. That and saying the money goes to education when they don't make sure the citizens are educated in statistics and the stupidity of gambling against the house.
