Again and again we see that no matter what society one lives in the laws..?

Question

and regulations are here to benefit and protect the rich, the poor have no rights when it comes down to it. of course the laws written in black and white treat all equally, and the rich will even have to go through the same process as everybody else,e.g. if they are sent to court, but in the end, one way or the other they are givien more rights, they wont have to sit and rot as the rest of us. Why are we so passive, just sitting around un-coscious watching T.V. or whatever else it is we distract ourselves with?

soory, english is not my mother tounge.

Answer 1

speak for yourself, I'm not part of your
WE....your just repeating what you heard somebody else say, and I still dont agree.....

Answer 2

Equal protection under the law, what does that mean? First of all, it is not a crime to be wealthy. The impact on society that those who "make their pile" is generally positive--they provided employment for the unconcious beer guzzling tv watchers with no ambition. All of us wealth or poor in these United States anyway all have the same legal protection. A poor man will have an attorney appointed for him if he can not afford one. Juries generally tend to have a little more bias towards the wealthy. The law does not require that one recieves the very best legal services free of charge, merely that one's representation meets a minimum criteria. The rich have no more rights than anyone else. Is it unfair that someone can afford the very best legal representation? Debatable--throughout history even in the early days of the American republic the wealthy we able to receive the best representation. However, if someone is guilty of something--they have no more rights than others--there are far more "poor" people free'd every year on technicalities than rich folks. Look at the Enron case--wealty people in prision.

Answer 3

I agree sir...

and you are correct...the poor will have to rise up again (as they have done in many areas in the past) and make the government understand that more than one kind of person lives

now I am American and I KNOW this is true

I am actually quite wealthy....but i sympathize with the poor having been poor at one time

when I was poor one of the main things I noticed was how complacent people were, and accepting of such poor treatment

I hope to make the poor and middle classed understand one day that the government is set up for THEM

Answer 4

This simply is not true. Many 'rich' people have gone to jail and done time. Could you state some cases where being rich has changes the due process of law?

There is no conspiracy here.

Answer 5

Well, the rich happens to pay off the crooked people and get off on lessor charges. They can afford better lawyers who actually put forth effort to help out their clients. I feel that they would learn from actually being punished for what they do wrong, but as long as they are lining judges pockets, it won't be happening any time soon.
