A timely reminder that “punishable by fine” means “legal for the rich.”
@aral
It is time that fines were scaled from a base fine to one based on income/wealth. The meaning of a fine is determent. It should penalize the rich to a point of pain as much as the poor. I think that would be democratic. Or perhape we could bring back the pillory. That too would be most democratic and make as much sense as the death penalty or the new abortion laws. Exorbitant fines for the rich and pillory. Let us equal the playing fields of justice.
