This is an odd one. I'm sure there are many today who are wasting the boss' money. I read in the paper about congressmen who are wasting our tax money for personal gain. Our former governor was called into question for using government money to fly his plane to vacations and personal meetings. It is an everyday thing, but what do they do about it? In most cases they just hope the whole thing will go away. We might say they are shrewd. It seems as though Jesus is addressing this parable to some of the wealthy, including tax collectors.
