Do Democrats approve of fraud?

It seems like Democrats either attack the people exposing fraud, or they stay silent on the subject.

We have massive fraud going on in many states, with people stealing billions in taxpayer monies.
And our Democrats do not seem to care.

They always want to raise taxes, and take from the taxpayer,
but they never want to ask people to stop stealing tax dollars.

Do Republicans approve of misrepresenting facts and misleading people with half truths and fabrications?

Tax fraud is significantly larger on the end of wealthy individuals and corporations dodging them than it is in people fraudulently collecting benefits they shouldn't get.

I'm not willing to let ten families that need food assistance get cut off trying to stop one person using the food assistance to support their drug habit. Yes, I do want to stop that one person from abusing the system. But the problem isn't so bad as to sacrifice the people who need it. It's not about approving of fraud, it's about prioritizing what needs to be protected. And people facing starvation need more protection than someone making six or seven figures.

Maybe we wouldn't need to talk about raising taxes if the rich were not exploiting the worker class and were paying people according to the productive value they create. Taxation isn't theft and it never has been. It may be ineffectively applied, but it isn't theft.

@sunsporter1649
Potential Gains: A report from the House Oversight Committee, as of January 2026, estimated that Trump and his family had realized roughly $2.25 billion in profits from foreign payments and other sources, with that figure potentially rising to $9.7 billion when digital assets are included.

[u]But you find this perfectly okay and not fraudulent or illegal in the least???

And I'm sure that you MAGAts are going to try and find a way to blame this on the Democrats!!!

@sunsporter1649 proven fraud to date only totals hundreds of millions. Still problematic, but an entirely different scale.

Now, tell me what your proposal to fix it is? Don't cut it. Fix it. Cutting it hurts people in need. How do we target the fraud without harming legitimate need?

If your solution is to make cuts to the program and make it work within a smaller budget, then you aren't actually fixing anything. You are just making poor people suffer the impacts of the fraud even more in order to spare the millionaires and billionaires.

Come with a good faith approach and I'll hear it out.
