      I lost everything in 2008, my house, my car, everything. I never compromised my morals. There are always more than enough moral career choices to keep from taking the low road.

          I worked my way out of it, and as desperate as things were at times, I never chose to do anything illegal or immoral.

          You claim that when people get desperate enough they will do terrible things, and they should be excused for that. Most other people feel that your own bad situation is no excuse to abandon morals and become part of the system that is making life difficult for you.

          There is no excuse for abandoning your morals and victimizing your fellow citizens.
