OED: "dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power"
Don't you think it's dishonest to accept money when lying to the public about workers income going up?
It may not be exactly the definition you want or expect (but then I'm not a pedant), but yes, it is to make a point.

You're doing an excellent job of pretending to be thick.
You must have had a lifetime of practice.

No...
It would be dishonest/fraudulent to accept money while claiming that you're not accepting money.

It would be dishonest/fraudulent to say that average income in real-terms is going up when your statistics actually say it is going down.

However, neither of those things are the case. Also, neither of those things are remotely related to each other, therefore, what the fuck are you talking about?
