Why Do People Think It Is Ok To Cheat The Stimulus Money?
This is a great video that provides a few scientific explanations to why people think it is ok to cheat and why companies like Enron cheat in the stock market.
And this speaker got me to understand why some people are “cheating” the stimulus money.
1. Alright to cheat a little bit - “It is alright for us to get a little bit of money out of the stimulus”
2. The connect to physical money is far - “It is just a government stimulus, I am stealing from anyone”
3. If my in-group is doing it, it is ok for me to do it too - “Other companies got a little bonus out of it, so it is ok for us to get a little bit of money out of it too.”
