I will exit this conversation. I can't ever support the above claims. When we start placing fines based o income we have become a socialist country. I will have no part of that. Why do people have such disdain for people with wealth. I am an average middle income earner. I don't care what the wealthy do as long as they pay fair share of tax. That's it peiod. I am out.
Since when does socialism mean punishing wealthy people less than poor people (assuming fines are a punishment). This has nothing to do with distain for wealth, this has to do with treating people equally under the law. You can exit the conversation if you want, but it's clear you're not even trying to understand the point being made.
Also, what is "their fair share"....we have progressive taxation in this country where wealthy people pay more. That to me is fair. Why do you object so strongly to income progressive fines?
