  sab,

  :It's up to US government to uncover fraudulent use of their services, not yours.

  That's like asking the fox to guard the hen house.

  So, if you see someone breaking into a neighbor's house, lying on their taxes, embezzling or shoplifting or any other crime, would your same reasoning apply? If not, why not?

  A crime is a crime, and if citizens don't report it, they are just encouraging it.

  I can't recall all the many cases I've seen in my life where a group of people stand around, watch someone get shot, or a woman being raped and walk away without report it, because 1) they didn't want to get "involved" or 2) they considered it "none of their business."

  That's my take on the matter. Dubs are among the worst cheats in life and in business that I've ever known. They SHOULD be held to a higher standard because they claim to live up the highest standards in the world and claim to be the chosen pets of the highest entity in the Universe.

  Fuck 'em. Report 'em. They're criminals (if everything you said is fact, and not just speculation.)

  Don't trouble yourself with it. It's pretty common that people who don't deserve help get it, and people who do deserve help can't get it.

  I agree with Farkel.

  When I was a teenager, there was a pioneer in the cong. She did not work. I remember my dad found out that she was on government assistance of some sort. My dad, who was a servant in the cong. told her that if she had time to pioneer, she had time to work at a job... and that it wasn't up to the government to support the preaching work. She was removed as a pioneer.

  I don't think that would happen today... I think they would allow her to continue to pioneer...supported by the taxpayer.

  I agree that as a group, jws are not very ethical when it comes to money... I could tell soooooo many stories... It got to the point where my family would not have business dealings of any kind with jws.

  Not the same thing.

  The OP, as well as anyone in that situation doesn't have all the facts. Are the beneficiaries breaking the law? Maybe (<- keyword). Is it the OP's job to find out whether that is happening or not? No.

  I thought I'd seen just about all the possible idiotic strawman arguments, but kudus to you. You just topped them all.

  So, reporting a crime by a criminal committing it is unAmerican and "Nazi?" I did not advocate reporting someone for "a big buck", so that statement is also absolutely irrelevant.

  Next, your argument states that by NOT reporting criminals doing crimes, one is promoting "strong bonds" and "friendships with your neighbors."

  HAHAHAHHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

  You don't even have the basic common sense of bathroom bacteria.
