    Money obtained by deception is indeed fraud, though not stolen goods.

    Surely you'd need the legal definition for it to have any weight in your argument?

    Being increasingly taxed according to your success is hardly the same as receiving less stolen goods for your sins of laziness.

    The fact that one pays for the other is a red-herring, and using it to equate the two is dishonest.
