This is a segway to discuss flat taxes and consumption/sales taxes.
Is it worse to steal something, or is it worse to trick somebody out of the same thing? e.g. I promise to give you $5, but you either see more and demand the rest, or see more and talk me out of the money while I think you are going to give me more. "Theft" vs "Larceny by Trick"
