Quote:So it's ok to steal $10,000 from the government because it's only pocket change to Mitt Romney?

 

Who said it's okay? I just recognize that it's better to help people even if there's a possibility of fraud (which can later be punished) than to not help people.

 

Do you have a car? Do you think it would be okay if people could come along and let the air out of your tires then justify it by saying it's too easy to speed and therefore we can't let people drive?

 

The fact of the matter is the $10,000 issue is best addressed with a labor and regulatory environment that enfranchises everyone in society such that they feel they have enough to lose that such petty fraud doesn't even seem worth the risk.
