California Lege Considering Traffic Fine Based On Income
According to some California legislators, if you get a traffic fine, the amount of the fine should be based on your income.
They've gone completely bonkers...

Hey, let's also assess the fine based upon race. I mean, whites statistically earn more and of course there's that white privilege and such....
Just slam that one in there too. If you're white, add another 15% to the fine. Yes, that sounds reasonable!
They all belong into a nut house. Leftist scumbags.

Why would you bring such an idiot racist argument into an area where race was not mentioned..... You race baiting and trolling?parabelum wrote:Hey, let's also assess the fine based upon race. I mean, whites statistically earn more and of course there's that white privilege and such....

Re: California Lege Considering Traffic Fine Based On Income
Because it is just as arbitrary as charging blacks or Jewish people a higher traffic fine. It's a fair though somewhat hyperbolic analogy. Seems to be a clear violation of equal protection of the laws as guaranteed by the 14th amendment, which after all was passed after the Democrat Party slaveholders rebelled...WTR wrote:Why would you bring such an idiot racist argument into an area where race was not mentioned.....

If you guys want cheering up, go to the FWPD gun buyback and check out the "entrepreneurs" who set up next door. It made my day, especially after I sold them an old .22 for cash.

"That is how they do it in Switzerland"
Well then, if everyone in Switzerland jumped off a bridge, then of course we...
O.K., back to reality.
I'm going to generalize: If all our law is based on income, then what...?
Think about it...please, think about it.
Leftist thinking is insane...

I see merit to this, looking at it from the perspective of the greater good. Besides, the status quo is such a tired old thing. Equality before the law is so 1776.Abraham wrote:According to some California legislators, if you get a traffic fine, the amount of the fine should be based on your income.

If it seems logically topsy-turvy to allow privilege to play a role in justice, consider the rich are less likely to commit violent crime and they make better decisions about money. That's why they are rich. An extra dollar in a rich guy's pocket is more likely to go into providing jobs than left with the poor. Their cars are better maintained, so reckless driving is less of an issue with them.
If California wants to do it right they should make it a self-sustaining feedback loop. The poor could just directly pay the rich to drive faster and run red lights.
Oh, wait -- are they talking about escalating punishment for the wealthy?
Wow. But there is still a chance for societal good if they will just stick to this plan.
Following wealth-based judicial bias to its terminal conclusion, death penalties would come quicker for the landed than the serf, and it's the wealthy who contribute more through death taxes.
Good thinking, California!
