    “Being rich” isn’t a protected class. That’s not discrimination lol lol. We already structure taxes like this lawfully.

      Taxes are not the same as fines. I swear some some democrats have such a hard on for “eat the rich” you will give up your own rights to fuck with some one else.

      You can’t target one group of people and expect no repercussions. Here is a relevant quote:

      “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

      Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist.

      Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

      Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.” —Martin Niemöller

      It’s easy to point at another group of people and say they are the problem. Why don’t you look in the mirror and ask yourself what are you doing to fix the problem

        I’m not a Democrat.

        Taxes provide a legal precedent for what you claim is “unconstitutional” regarding scaling fines.

        This is honestly stupid. The capitalists are the problem in capitalism because it affords them too much power.

        That poem you quoted is about Nazis, the oppressors. The poem doesn’t go “they killed everyone and it is morally wrong for me to kill them back.” Lol. You’ll notice the Nazis aren’t included in the poem? It’s Jews, sure, but not Nazis? Why do you think that, oh brilliant one?
