I like the idea myself. Fines are suppose to be a deterrent towards breaking the law. If some billionaire receives a $200 fine do you really think he/she cares? Not much a a deterrent there is it?
The examples that have been given in this thread from those who are against it is outlandish really. I mean come on...milk? It's like comparing apples to steak....not even in the same hemisphere much less the same food group. :roll:
Why does everyone seem to want to punish those who have accumulated wealth? It's as if it's a crime to get educated and to strive to get ahead in life. More and more Americans seem to think it is their right to steal from the rich. They somehow feel entitled to other people's property.
It's those with money who provide jobs, vacations, raises, promotions and healthcare to people with their own money. The rich are the ones that spend money on things like cars, boats, planes, vacations, dining out, fancy clothes etc. that keep people working.
This administration wants to destroy the economy so more and more people will depend on entitlements and will continue to vote them in. The problem is, any so called "right" the govt. gives, can also be taken away. They WANT us to hate the rich, so they will gain more and more power over our lives.
The rich are taxed enough and now you want to punish them even more for a speeding ticket??? Sounds pretty unfair to me.
