Had anyone defended cheating the government when it comes to taxes or applying to government programs, cheating in business, lashon harah, speaking in shul, and the chilul Hashem when frum people are walked away in handcuffs, and we saw and didn’t comment, you’d have a point. As is, though, it’s really not supposed to be a competition as to which is worse. One is supposed to be the best he can in all areas of the Torah, and that includes (but is of course not limited to) shmiras einayim.
