There are a solid group of FReepers who fervently believe that there is one set of laws for the little people and one set of laws for moneyed people.

I guess I'm one of them as I can't find any evidence to the contrary.

That should be, there IS a solid group of...

Although technically the law is supposed to apply equally to everyone, regardless of their financial or social status, it does work out that moneyed people are able to mitigate their exposure to laws by the use of lawyers and accountants, and their friendships or acquaintances. This does not mean that any "solid group" of FReepers supports this. They know it to be true, but do not necessarily support it. Maybe some do, but that is not a "solid group" and the fact that they have their own opinions doesn't make them bad.

You don't need to scorn or deride other FReepers to make a point.

I don’t know how many FReepers believe that there should be one set of laws for the rich and another for everybody else, but that is pretty much how it works, isn’t it?
