But what if the ticket was based on a percentage of 0.1% rather then a fixed amount? If based on 0.1% - Pat who makes $50,000 per year parks illegally and gets a ticket for $50.00. Terry who makes $5,000,000 per year parks illegally and gets a ticket for $5,000.00. frankg replied - The carrot that drives greatness in this country is the opportunity for success that can be achieved thru hard work, dedication and innovation. Take that carrot away and the motivation to succeed also goes and the country fails. So what you are saying then is that one of the motivations for being rich is so they can break a law and not have to pay for it like the poor do. -- Thanks for being part of "PoliticalForum" at Google Groups.
