Honesty And Age

5 years back few things which i noticed and reminiscing about the same made me to create a hypothesis.
The hypothesis is that as we age we have tendency to become dishonest.
To be dishonest and corrupt you also need a position of power. So between a young Prime Minister/President and old Prime Minister/President, the elderly person is going to be more dishonest.

When a person is young he has lot to gain by being honest. The returns from being honest diminish as one ages. This can also be influenced by other factors like society, culture, behavior of peers, punishment for being dishonest etc.

But i believe that a strong force is age!! Also risk of cancer increases as we age!!
