I very much agree with your ethical justification.

I used to struggle with this too, but then I realized just how much corporations steal from America.

It wasn’t always like this of course, both consumers/citizens and companies can go back to treating the other not-like-shit, but companies can go first.

This all hit me one day when I realized that, even if I dedicated my life to crime and greed, I would never be able to steal/defraud as much as many companies have in several business hours.

That being said I want to make it clear I pay my taxes in full and take only the standard deduction.

Exactly. Thank you.

I don't have morals. I simply reflect them. You treat me ethically, I will treat you ethically.

MS stole from me, I steal from them. There's no moral high ground here. Just reality.

Denying the concept of morality is merely a transparent excuse for not feeling bad about behavior you know to be immoral.

You were doing better in your previous comment when you admitted you were being a bad person and simply didn't care.

Acting morally in all cases is denial of the true nature of the universe.

I destroy what is bad, and nurture what is good.
