    Sure, it’s certainly better to be rich than to not be. You’re right when you are in the billionaire range it’s pretty damn hard to touch that. But trump is a low end billionaire with lots of financial needs. You start cutting hard into his reserves and businesses could start to collapse, debt can accrue and friends start to dissappear. This pos can’t keep his mouth shut and this is a major case with consequences for US democracy. 10million for any gag breech and we will start to see some behavior change after a couple mistakes.

      Okay, but that’s still not a “deeper cut” than the single parent living paycheck to paycheck getting a fine that puts them on the street.

      Until fines are proportional to wealth, laws only apply to the poor. The rich can pay for an indulgence.
