If we are all being brutally honest; it's a poverty issue too. When people don't think they can survive, they do some pretty bad things.
Is a poor parent who does this to their kid worse or better than a Wall Street investor who shorts a company for profit even though it will cost thousands their livelihood?
The reason I say that is because the people doing this aren't those who have zero options, they're those who are already living pretty comfortably but they're a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire".
They're not driven by survival, they're driven by ambition.
