Fear. Fear of survival. " I have to stay alive at all costs and I am afraid that I won't survive if I don't lie" mentality. If it works, and they get away with it, then that leads to greed. Like, "hey, I got away with that and made some kind of profit. I need more, and more and more or I will die, " mentality.
And then becomes a habit and a way of life
Fear to Greed to Habit and Life Style. And then if they do survive and not die, they're life will be miserable no matter how much money, sex, or possessions they have.
The soul becomes haunted.
The trouble is some people can live many life times with a haunted soul.
Sometimes a successful but dishonest people stumble into an awakening. Sometimes people find a mentor to show the way. Sometimes babies are just born more this way and inspire their parents.
There's always hope we'll all get the message to be free, and have a clear conciousness, is the best wealth.

Can I ask why people are not honest. As in, why is it that people don't keep to their words even when they can do so? Can't I just do business with someone without signing papers and get lawyers and witnesses and still keep to my words? Can't we get trustworthy people anymore?
People now a days are selfish and thats the reason why they are lying, because they want that they are good in the eyes of people. When it comes to money people are not honest, even if you have witness sometimes they will pay your witness so that the true will not come out.
Peer pressure
I have surrounded myself with people who are honest, motivated and intelligent. But what about people who grew up with dishonest friends?
Is it their fault that they’re dishonest as well?
I am one who promotes that an individual is ultimately responsible for his or her own decisions,
but I do feel that we are a product of our surroundings. Peer pressure can make a weak individual do dishonest things.

Everyone believes he or she is honest. But when it comes to something big. Hmmm. Dishonesty and doubt crept in. everone will say " I am not a thief" but if they come accross a big sum of money on their way, they will look left, right and centre before stealing it to themself. Self control is the watchward here. 
because the person is dishonest they have different goals, some are dishonest for committing crimes and some are dishonest for good. dishonest for crime is to enrich themselves if it is concerned with money issues, while dishonest for athe good is to keep a relationship in good standing.
People are being dishonest because they are afraid to expose tha truth. They are afraid that if they expose the truth maybe people surrounds them dislke them or they are afraid to face the consequences or punishment because if you are being dishonest you are covering something or you have done mistakes or wrong.
Well, that's true if you are talking about someone who has done malicious works against his.her fellow.
But the OP is asking, why people are dishonest? Probably he mean that you can't trust people unless there is a written agreement between you two. In my opinion, man is greedy, he wants everything, and if he has a chance to grab someone's property in any way, he will do it. Verbal agreement without any supporting papers would just give them another chance to accomplish their motive.

My friend
It's hard to tell if a person is honest or not
You will know it over time only
Most liars lie for money
Before you put your trust in them
Try them first
Despite the trust you will find people deceive you after several times of confidence
It's hard to find someone honest
I hope you find people who are honest with you, sir. Thank you
Yeah, dishonesty is a big problem nowadays and actually, it always was. I think more and more people choose to be dishonest because it is easier for them to get what they want by lying or not keeping their promises. It is very hard to always be honest but we have to try our best and show a good example to other people

Faithful people are deeply rooted in the family, because parents do not teach good children, grow up it will not be honest. So, the family is the cell of society. Good family will be good.
A person should not be too honest it's extremely true but not totally lie. Bit honest when needed and bit liar when that's needed. It depends on the situation is.
For different reasons; first dishonesty sometimes inherited, it’s characteristic by nature, another factor is influence and sometimes because of needs
Some people are felfished.

I believe there are many honest people. But if person not honest - he's got a reason for it, and most likely it is the benefit of some sort.
Always triggers my mind why a high court case costs so much money, take so much time, etc. while the "criminal" can just say exactly what he/she did. So much easier!!
Written promise are the best at all with signature of them plus your witness, having everything document is the best, trust can also be solve today, sometime people just also hiding something that is why they don't tell the truth but they don't lie either.
"An astounding number of people think that keeping secrets is the done thing, whereas an honest person knows that almost all secrets – both big and small – will unravel themselves eventually.
The problem with secrets is that you have to repeatedly be dishonest with your words and it is incredibly difficult to maintain this act indefinitely. Sooner or later you will slip up."
