Starting with retail stores locking up their products because of theft implies that customers do not have the money to pay for the products retail stores sale. But lawmakers would rather claim – and have set the standard through media propaganda – that low-income people are natural born thieves. But which is more likely?
Corporate CEOs down to doctors and lawyers who skimp on wages and take bribes, and even police officers who steal when they have a chance to skirt procedure, all find ways around the law to increase their income, so the low-income, natural born thief theory can apply to anyone, regardless of how much they earn.
Scams are run on the public by con-artist and hackers, so it can be concluded that the con-artist have learned ways around laws in place that restrict getting what they want legally. The same is true when groups of employees are suspects of a government sting operation because they were scamming the system they worked for, such as social services food stamp programs, banking, or insurance company scams.
Yes, these people are criminal minded to an extent but there is a such thing as desperation, so the question must be asked as to why some people fall to criminality. Apparently, they lack enough money and want more. Temptation to the desperate person can turn an honest citizen into a criminal, but temptation to a greedy person describes a criminal by nature.
When people complain about not being paid enough and the public puts pressure on employers, they may increase wages from the base minimum wage, but as soon as they do, the same corporations increase the cost of goods, to offset the loss they took when they increased wages; and the cycle of desperation and greed continue.
If a community lack jobs and the crime rates rises in that community, there is definitely a correlation between the two. Companies sometimes move out of low-income communities because they find more profits in higher income communities. This in itself increase the rates of crime in low-income communities and testifies to the greed in corporations.
When the higher income communities begin to experience white collar crime, this speaks the same volume as crime in low-income communities. Wages are not keeping up with the cost of living because greed has taken over. When jails and prisons begin to fill up and prisoners are used for cheap labor, where does the crime blame fall? On those locked up – mostly on trumped up charges – or on the corporations who exploit the prisoners?
The cycle is a vicious one and can go on for decades until the result ends up being no one has a clean criminal record and cannot get a job and corporations cannot hire anyone, so they have to increase the cost of goods to meet the loss of productivity they have created. Furthermore, when corporations seek out cheaper ways to do business, such as immigrants, robotics and AI, this leaves more people to unemployment and poverty; and the cycle not only continues, but snowballs.
The solution would seem simple if corporations provided jobs in all communities and paid enough for people to live on. But as they say, this would be too easy. Greed, leading to desperation has taken hold of this society and as the problem goes unaddressed, the situation will only get worse as more people become more desperate and more greedy.
