? Graduated fines are the exact same as a graduated income tax. In fact I almost made the comparison myself but seeing how this thread views graduated income tax I left it alone.
To the DEVIL with a graduated income tax. You were probably wise to leave that alone. Speaking of taxes, I wish that there was some way to increase a sales tax for those on public assistance. Ultimately, those affected are ahead at the end of the day; still consumers, still not producers.
 
You quoted “common good” twice. What are you quoting? If we’re talking about attempts to “promote the general welfare” of the people then obviously those whose welfare are in jeopardy are the ones who need it promoted, not those whose welfare is doing great. Bill Gates is doing fine and doesn’t need a welfare check(in either meaning of the phrase).

Who doesn't? If financial penalties aren't a sliding scale they're no penalty at all. If you set a fine for something at $50,000, to a poor person that's effectively illegal as they can never pay that. To a super wealthy elite it's less than an inconvenience, not a deterrent at all.

If you don’t have a job or money, you should probably just go to jail for every offense, whether misdemeanor or felony, because society is already paying for your arse. Right? Is that how punishment based upon wealth works? Do I understand your stupid justice system?
 
Leave it to lefties to think fining individuals based on their wealth for breaking whatever nonsensical laws they put on the books is a good idea.

We just saw what they did to Trump in NYC. Anyone who supports Biden’s lawfare is disqualified from any conversation about how the United States justice system could be improved.
 
It's a good thing nothing of value was hit, or this could have escalated quickly.🙄 What an embarrassment this administration continues to be.

Biden tells Netanyahu tonight was a win, nothing of "value" hit in Israel, US official says.


 
Biden and the left are an absolute disgrace. They need to be eliminated before they destroy the nation....hell...the world. Their weakness invites this kind of reaponse. WW3 is a possibility with the left in power.
They and the WEF/UN want the world in chaos in order to exercise control and usher in the one world government.

Provoking World War 3 would NOT be a wise political tactic. Now, if a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 happens, I guess the nation rallies behind the flag, and the incumbent- but starting something would be a catastrophic mistake.
One of those type events isn’t off the table considering the amount of terrorists that have been able to just walk across our border, middle fingers in air.
 
Now read the second sentence. Moron.

I claimed the feds set the 55 speed limit, enforced nationwide until 1995. You denied that. I showed you a direct government link, and you quote the first sentence and not the second.

That's truly pathetic and completely disingenuous.
Nope. You claimed the Fed "sets" interstate speed limits. "sets" is the present, TODAY, not 1995 or before. States set their own speed limits TODAY - as your posted article states. And before the 1970's oil "crisis", they never set speed limits. It was a temporary thing.

I'm sure you continue to wrongly represent your post. Totally expected.
 
But the Feds use their threats to deny billions of dollars to states who do not heel. So they in fact set the bar. This is with schools and everything else. Authoritarian with our money.
OK, but they are not controlling speed limits TODAY as Md 20/20 claimed. Until they do this, states do it or you wouldn't have different limits today by state, would you?
 
OT: it will be nice to watch an offense that is more than pick and roll. And clearly have some high IQ coaching.

I am excited to watch an actual offense again. I would tape the Pitino teams and rewind and break down the offense, inbound plays etc.... Especially with the Pelphrey, Feldhouse, Farmer, Woods group. The offense was beautiful to watch.

Pope's looks obviously more modern. Just watching that clip I see that the break is sideline, with a cross court pass to the other sideline. That is interesting but I get it. Most run sideline and push up the floor to the same side. Then a secondary to get the ball to the other side. Interesting. I like it.

Whatever was hit was of value to somebody.
