I bat an eye. If you as a voter re-elect wasteful or corrupt politicians, or as a shareholder/owner re-elect wasteful or corrupt corporate boards, then you can't be surprised at the outcome.
Yes, plenty do. Whataboutism is not a strong argument.
Tax evasion massively erodes people's trust in institutions. If it's prevalent enough, cheating becomes the default option, and things fall apart quickly.
Yes, but when the big guys' cheating is worth millions all while costs of living are going up and income inequality is rising, I really can't blame the commoner cheating for a few hundred bucks. I don't mind it becoming the default option - at least it'll put everyone on a level playing field.
Nobody has managed to tackle the problem of the big guys cheating, partly because when you’re at the level where you can make a difference you realise it’s more profitable to join the cheaters than fight them.
