Quote:Moral of the story, CRIME DOES NOT PAY!
What a contemptible lie that's always been. Of course crime pays. It pays short term, long term, creates profitable economic opportunities for the criminal's associates, spurs financial activity, has measurable 'ripple' effects into non-criminal areas, and gives cops something to do. Granted, it's a high risk occupation (usually), but the risk is almost always commensurate with the reward.
In fact, it's hard to think of anything that pays more than crime.
