Abuser Fees and the Lower Class

I've heard a LOT of anti-Abuser Fee bloggers mention the fact that these fees are "unfairly detrimental to the wallets of the poor!" They believe that if you're wealthy and violate the law, you should pay more because you can afford to.

However, that is outright "reverse classism". Instead of punishing those who are guilty of a crime, and the punishment being the same for everyone...these people believe that the more you make, the more severe your punishment should be. How is that "fair" justice? That's classism...and very typical socialist classism at that. Punish those who are wealthier for having that wealth...no matter how hard they worked to attain it.

Taxes are based on income, not the repercussions of breaking the law.

If everyone wants these Abuser Fees to go away...OBEY THE LAW!!! It's not that hard to keep your car UNDER 80 MPH on the interstate, is it? Is it too much to ask someone not to drink and drive?

If you don't like being passed on the interstate, then swallow your pride and let it happen...let some other fool get the ticket, and then get slapped with an Abuser Fee. Don't be the one who defy the law just because you have to go over 80 MPH.

Poor, rich, or middle class...all would be wise to heed my advice and be a little more careful when driving, for both their sake and the sake of those they share the road with.
