A big part of the problem is culture. When a garboon makes it in the nfl, he is expected to take care of his family. Momma needs a house, bro needs a house, sis needs a house, and on and on. Throw in needing an entourage, friends, associates and a stream of hangers-on. Boom! Wer be de monies? Add in a dose of ghetto mentality that does not evolve...
Yep. It's always the IRS that catches up to them. The property taxes on their Miami "shorefront crib" that they laid down $9 million for, and the penthouse in Vegas they purchased, and then the 5 or 6 properties for family members. They give money to their homies when they go to the stripclub and "make it rain" 3 nights a week. Buying stupid fucking cars that they don't know how to maintain. Not paying their notes on their jewelry. Giving money to their homeboys so they can "put down a rap album".
Ironically, this is what holds the nogs down in Africa as well. The social obligation to support others. This is why the Peace Corps. fails in Africa.
It's also the constant stealing when the next dictator takes office. Get put into Prime Minister/President position, steal as much foreign aid as possible from the stupid white people in the west who give you planeloads of cash, then embezzle it into offshore accounts, then go into exile once you've arranged for the next coup.
Something about a lack of basic morality and absence of values.
