Should rich people pay more for speeding tickets?

Justice must be, you know, just. That means the same for everyone.

Fuck you bitch. What part of a speeding ticket being a completely arbitrary number that is supposed to deter crime do you not understand? Why is this number the same for all people? I.E. a $400 speeding ticket DOES NOT DETER douchebag millionaires from flooring it down the street while it completely rapes someone who's already not making much.

Yeah, rich people should pay more. I said it. It doesn't make sense the way we have it.

That's why there is a point system in most states, dickwad.

No such thing exists. It's an abstract idea.

Erm... in the UK, people do get fined according to their level of income.

They still speed.

Actually, it's been pretty well established that if you want to make people comply with a law, the best approach isn't more punishment, it's stronger enforcement.

the best approach is dont make law that isnt approved of by at least some kind of majority of the voters.

by that i dont mean environmentalist nuts who claim highway safety who dont even drive cars.

Are you fucking brain dead? Milk is a GOOD, its price is determined by supply and demand.. a speeding ticket is an ARBITRARILY determined number and is a FINE not a good or service, that has nothing to do with supply or demand. Are you fucking retarded?

Lets look at something else that's not a good or service that is arbitrarily determined by the government.. taxes. Which are progressive (scaled by income, for those of you suffering from downs).

Don't be angry bro.
Your need for progressive taxation in useless because it already exists. A rich guy who owns a new $400K Lambo has paid the government for roads usage and a bigger probability to get speeding tickets, he has paid much more than a broke guy who owns a $400 Honda Civic of 1990.

I can stand trolls and troll threads. But this one is not a troll thread, it is a socialist troll thread therefore I can't stand it. Good bye.
