Again, this is a wealth tax. Rich get driven around and don't loose their jobs for loosing their license. Try being poor though and having this happen.

Edit: should have said 'poor tax'

Being poor is no excuse for breaking the law. If you can't afford having your license revoked then don't do things that can get your license revoked.

  • That's a straw man though. The argument isn't that poor people should get to break traffic laws but that those who can afford to loose their license shouldn't get to break them either.

  • Quick question, without looking it up, can you list the number of laws you can break which will result in your license revocation?

    The law is sufficiently complex and broad that there is essentially zero chance that you are not breaking a single one each day. The rich have gotten so powerful that can literally evade the consequences forever in most cases. For the rest of us, all we can hope is to avoid the scrutiny of the law.
