If rich people can abuse the system why can't poor people?

We do in a different way. Ritch people are good at tax evasion, money laundering and exploiting or maintaining public image.

Poor people are going at stealing and hiding, persuading people of authority, laying low and taking advantage of government hand outs.

I don't think its abuse when poor people do it. I think its survival and coping with this ridiculous system. Poverty is unnatural and evil.

I think there are all different classes of people who abuse the system.

Yes, they can. And some of them do. And I look away.

A lot of people abuse the system but basically the rich make the rules therefore have the advantage.

Nearly everyone has abused the system at one point or another... This isn't unique to only rich people.

Because sanctioned abuse costs quite a bit. Someone will be wanting a payday in return for the favor of looking the other way, be it through goods, services or monies.

They can but since the punishment is often financial, they feel it much more.

Because the rich can buy their way out of trouble, assuming they ever really have to face it, and the poor can’t.

The richer you are... the less you feel the effects of a fine.

Because rich people can do whatever they want even if they stole their money.

Play them at their own game and ignore it all.

By playing along we feed into their corrupted system.

Just stop doing it.

Because they're not taught how to.
