> And the "if the penalty for a crime is a fine, then that law only exists for the lower class" aphorism applies. This is the kind of thing that's only repeated by slumming upper-class children, the same ones who live in Brooklyn, have leftist podcasts, and think it's actively good when you see someone smoking crack on the subway because it's "cool". Actual working class people don't like it when other working class people speed near them or commit crimes! (It's also a very American statement, because in other countries the upper class is not the people with the most money, it's the people with the most tradition and social status. Or they own a lot of land but are cash poor.)
