Fines and Taxes are how we keep poor people poor. Want to buy a nice house [and you're poor]? Well, by law you're going to need to install an electric car charger there [and we don't care if you own an electric car]. Oh and we're going to tax the crap out of that house every year, even though you've already paid for it. Oh and the income you're using to pay that tax, we're going to tax that too. Oh and your employer that gives you that money, we're going to tax the crap out of that too. Oh, and are you a trade member? Well, we're going to allow a local union to tax you too, regardless if you're a member. Oh you want to buy food? Yep, tax that too. Oh you want to buy gas to go to your job? Yep, special tax that too. Oh you broken the speed limit by 7mph because you were late to work? We're going to tax the crap out of you, you criminal!! Did you seriously just try to keep chickens on <i>your</i> property to save money on groceries??? Your white neighbors don't like that, we're definitely fining you! Did you just try to start a business to elevate yourself out of poverty?! NO, no no, you can't do that lol, here's a tax, a fine, and court date.<p>Meanwhile, the 1%'ers making these rules in the Senate and House see a guaranteed raise every single year, regardless of the GDP performance and have benefits paid for, for life, and lets not even get to Nancy Pelosi's incredible "luck" trading on the stock market.
