Stop ignoring proven economic theory.
.....and stop applying and assuming I endorse it.
It's a fact and you need to accept it I'm afraid.
The OP hints at the end it's a political problem which I agree with, but the reason people did it is a proven behaviour. [Post edited 20 Jan 2020 14:41]

there you go making up stuff again - no wonder you are a Tory
the behaviour you describe is learned behaviour, it is NOT inherent in humans as a species |  | |  |

are you telling me neanderthal man had to be taught this?
I do worry about some here you know. You seem to be hell bent on ignoring proven theory. |  |

it is not proven theory, it is merely you trying to dig yourself out of a hole
primitive societies had no concept of private ownership and so would not have acted, or needed, to act in the way you are claiming is 'human nature'
what you are describing is human behaviour in response to many variables
now why not offer up some evidence of this proven theory | | | |

Show us your evidence please. I don't think you know what a fact is, which is worrying from someone claiming to have worked in military intelligence. |  |

Go back to the OP and ask yourself 'why did so many people take advantage?'....Because they wanted to make best use of a legal scheme.
Utility maximisation is an accepted part of the standard economic model. | |

Just because something is "an accepted part of the [current] economic model" doesn't make it inherent in the species.
Glad we finally got there. |  |

There's been plenty of outrage at two members of a certain upper-class benefits-addicted family the last couple of weeks. The irony is that they were signing off! | |

That's not evidence. That's not a fact. That's your opinion. | |

you overlook our old friend 'human nature'
and how it only manifests itself when behaviour is thought to be wrong
you never hear acts of generosity or self sacrifice ascribed to 'human nature'
'Man risks live to save passengers trapped in burning car'
"what do you expect, it's human nature innit" | | | |

No, we should go back to your statements.
Since you have not provide proof and retracted from “proven economic theory”, to “accepted part of”, why should we believe the latter, when you have lost credibility on the former.
By the way, we shouldn’t, since in situations in which real human qualities, play a role, utility maximisers are not predictive in economic models.
If utility maximisers were part of standard economic models, and it was an accurate model of human nature, why are predictive economic models usually wrong?
That is of course why different models of economic behavioural modelling are used, since whilst you personally maybe a utility maximiser, it would seem your are in a minority.
Also, to your point on Neanderthals, can you show which evolutionary theory explains mammalian social constructs based on utility maximisers? | | | |
