When they do not pay their taxes ours go up. What about the car mechanic who brags about replacing a bad car part with a used part but still charges for a new one. He doesn't get my business. They should be quickly put out of business and forced to refund all monies as well as do jail time or years of community service. If the honest, law-abiding people banded together, I'm sure unethical business owners would either have to mend their ways or find a new profession.
Values are essential in a healthy society.
Now, that should create some concern. I also see apathy as the greatest threat to our country. A few years ago I attended a community meeting on incorporating values into the school curriculum. While most of the people felt very comfortable in this proposal, some objected. If a person is making a living as a slum lord or paying his employees a minimum wage while he lives in luxury, maybe his ethics should be questioned.
