Here is a lesson in crime for you. The easiest way for a politician or government bureaucrat to steal is by overpaying for government contracts with taxpayer money. You overpay by millions, and then you either keep the overpayment, or split it with the company you bought it from. Everyone gets rich.

This goes on every day in our government. I believe virtually every government agency official is stealing taxpayer money by the millions by overpaying for government contracts.

As an example, every time the government pays $1 billion for tanks, or ships, or fighter jets, or bullets, what makes you think the real bill wasn’t $900 million? That leaves $100 million to split up between politicians, government bureaucrats and the defense contractor. Who’d ever know? Who’s gonna talk? Everyone got rich.
