here's the problem in today's society: NO responsibility for their own actions. they would rather cheat the system or get money. the hall of shame should have included our elected/appointed officials that did not abide by the rules and take advantage of the system to get their but in turn, it was turned against them.
1) the sheriff who's fraud cost him only 6 months at home (should have been in jail).
2) the firefighter who burned his wife's car.
3) the judge who tried to go to the cleaners when he got his pants lost.
there are more examples. truthfull, the society is looking for what i call free money. either fraudelant or claims against companies who have money to supposedly give away. we allow them to boggle up the court system with frivilous lawsuits. we as a society allow them, the individual not to take responsibility when they do go to court. we truly think that we have money tree in our backyard. just like the federal government when it keeps spending money by giving it to foreign government and then forgive the debt. fact is we elected officials and in many cases, re-elected them back. if we want change we have to make the first step and make it ourselves. otherwise, it will just keep going downhill. remember, that this country is not just influenced by the president but also by those in congress. they have to make a bill and pass it. this also includes your local government as well.
