Mar_12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.

[Revolting cat!]

One encouraging sign of moral health.

[freedumb2003]

Someone puts a gun to your head and says “give me all the money in your pockets!”

It is human nature to creatively define “pocket”...

[Deagle]

Mercy, such a non issue!

When has cheating, stealing, or even littering become such a non-issue. In the 60’s and much later, all were considered bad (and only those without a conscience would do that).

Today, it seems that maybe the schools are teaching that some is okay if you really need the item - or maybe they are teaching that cheating is okay as long as you are not caught!

Really, this is the society that we have bred. I could not have imagined cheating in the 60’s much less stealing. What has become of us? How can it get any worse?

[Nik Naym]

Shoplifting is stealing from someone else.

Littering is making a mess that you expect someone else to pick up, in other words littering is being a slob.

“Cheating” on taxes is trying to keep what is rightfully yours from being taken from you by force so that it can be given to someone who didn’t earn it.

The first two are clearly immoral.

The third is not. (It just requires more balls than I posses, LOL!)

[Eccl 10:2]

"Approves."

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Shoplifting and littering are voluntary activities, paying taxes is not, no matter what the IRS says.

[WMarshal]

Sorry for triple post. Droid phone sucks!

[dfwgator]

If you can become Treasury Secretary after cheating on taxes, what’s the big deal, anyway?

-—5th Amendment...nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.-—

My money is my property. Unless the govt gives me something of equal value in compensation, I’m going to keep as much as I can.

[UnwashedPeasant]

"IRS Oversight Board’s 2011 Taxpayer Attitude Survey, 84% of the public said it is “not at all acceptable to cheat on one’s income taxes.’"

Not a valid statistic. If someone from the IRS asks a survey question about cheating on taxes, only an idiot would respond that cheating is OK.

[Tainan]

“Cheating” on your taxes...hell...that could be considered a civic duty.

[HereInTheHeartland]

A false choice to compare paying less taxes with criminal acts. It's everyone’s duty to pay as little taxes as possible.

[Clintonfatigued]

Probably because the government wastes the taxes they pay.

[fortheDeclaration]

Because every American taxpayer knows he is overtaxed!
