Guess what's coming down the pike now? If you make $75,000 a year, and your neighbor makes $20,000 a year, and you both get stopped at the same spot at the same time exceeding the speed limit by the same amount, your ticket will be more than his.
It's not happening (to my knowledge) in America yet, but I predict it soon will be. Recently in Switzerland, a judge fined a Ferrari owner $290,000 for doing 60 in a 30. Germany, France, and Austria also base punishments on a person's wealth.
So to all the welfare moochers in America, go ahead -- do whatever you want. Your punishment won't be as bad as that bad old rich guy's.
Paris News funny for the day: The Justiss Elementary School art teacher says she likes to expose her students to a "wide range of mediums." I don't know about you, but I don't think elementary school children should be communicating with the dead!
