Stealing, plundering and looting are not exclusive to those without means to generate income. Some of richest people and coorperations continue to do so with impunity.

Zd542 is right. A persons income has absolutley no indication of whether they will steal or not. Actually studies have shown that people who are wealthy are more likley to steal, lie and cheat than those with lesser means.

Also you have to look at the various forms of theft and the reasons why people do it. You cannot throw out a blanket assumption that good paying jobs will fix the problem.

Cooperations posting record profits lie, cheat and steal at a rate much higher than those near the bottom rung of the income ladder.

*My last sentence should have said cooperations posting record profits take recieve more in government subsidies than those at the bottom recieving welfare.
