The New Bill of Rights for the US of A

 If you are broke and own nothing, you can do whatever you want within reason.  You can shoplift up to $999 per day, every day.  Use the streets as a public toilet. Camp wherever you want. And beat up and threaten any one of your choosing. And if you are an illegal alien, you can drive drunk or beat your wife with a coat hanger and get no jail time.  To add injury to insult, since there is no bail, the perpetrator can return, to beat the crap out of the person who turned him/her in to the police.  And if you are a witness, you get a free swimming lesson in the bathtub or some hot lead air ventilation.

 But if you have a job and pay your taxes, God help you, if you don’t pay that your speeding ticket.  Own a home, you are a sitting duck, the government can tax you to death.  If you have some money, you can be sued for frivolous offenses.  The police will not waste their time arresting a deadbeat or a drug addict. The offender gets released back on the street.   But look like a regular citizen, they can milk you for any offense of the law.

 These new ideas of bail reform (no bail) are destroying our system of law and order. If I can plunder $900 dollars a day and not go to jail, what is that in real wages?  That is $328,500 a year.  I could bore you with what it costs for a working stiff, paying taxes, to afford cocaine, but the point is, he doesn’t have the time to really get involved in drugs like a homeless person can.

So, remember, as a tax paying citizen, you have rights:  the right to pay taxes and the right to obey the laws or be fined by the courts. Be silent and make no waves.

 If you are a dead beat, the laws don’t apply to you.  Do what you want. You have no money and are therefore of no interest to the government.  A sad perspective on life, isn’t it?
