Is It Morally Wrong To Cheat Big Corporations And Governments?

William Blake stated in one of his poems: Honest indignation IS the voice of God"...
With that in mind, recent events in the financial world and the economy of late have me thinking...

Are we MORALLY wrong to cheat the government and large faceless impersonal corporations in any way we can get away with? Without a doubt, history has shown that there is NOT a direct connection between what is morally right, and what happens to be legal in a given culture.

Some laws are passed for the protection of citizens, but a great many laws and statutes are the result of pressure groups and lobbyists who work for interests that are not the voting majority.

Consider the fact that the large players like banks and credit-card companies do everything in their power and more to cheat consumers and gouge us wherever possible. And they only do this "legally" as a result of millions of dollars spent on "lobbyists" who sway the government to pass laws in direct contrast to taxpayers and voters interests.

Like drug pushers at the local high school, credit companies lure naive and unsuspecting consumers into debt-addiction! The analogy between drug pushers and credit card pushers is a perfect one as far as I can see... The strategy is to get consumers addicted to credit (debt-slavery) as early as possible.

At the same time, we see our government allowing large corporations to avoid taxes, receive bailouts and welfare, and even then, move our jobs to "developing" nations and leave workers here to sink or swim.

And then, these same workers are to be responsible and pay their 25% rates on credit cards and income tax to a government that is by all appearances either impotent to help, or perhaps even working against the interests of its citizens under corporate pressure.

With all of this in mind, it would seem we should have no moral dilemma whatsoever about stealing back what was stolen from us in the first place. Yes, perhaps it is even our moral obligation to fight back and lie, cheat, and steal back wherever possible from the big players. It's the only way to protect what we have left, and to get back some of what was stolen from us in the first place.
