[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I applaud this heartily. Fines are regressive taxes - they are practically nothing for the wealthy but can become a spiraling burden for the poor. Regressive taxes are bad. [/quote] Traffic tickets are not taxes. They are penalties for doing something illegal. [/quote] And they disproportionally hurt the poor more than the rich. A rich person is just going to pay the $50 ticket and not blink and eye if the parking spot is closer. It's just the cost of doing business and not a penalty. [/quote] Actually they disproportionally hurt the other drivers and pedestrians they crash into, but you don't care about victims do you? [/quote] Yeah totally. Anyone who disagrees with you doesn't care about other people at all. Do you care when rich people hit pedestrians? Do you think they care because they were given a $100 ticket? Do you see how dumb you sound?[/quote]
