i’m still waiting for my car insurance premium to go down. which they told me would happen 10 years ago if the state passed a seatbel law. So far my premiums haven’t, my frreedom was taken away and now I’m subjected to stops and harassment from law. we all pay it’s just a matter in what coin do we pay. Is it money or freedom we pay.
but yeah I have no problem with not paying for the idiots if they are stupid enoough to not wear a helmet and not carry insurance. personal responsibility frredom and liberty.
Those seatbelt laws had nothing to do with premiums going down, if they told you that they lied to your face.
It was a federal mandate for highway funds.
What people are not taught about rights is that there are responsibilities that go along with those rights. True freedom is the freedom to screw up, but not to expect the rest of us to bail you out when things go wrong for you. We don’t get anything from people when they personally profit (ie we can’t morally claim they owe us money when their personal investments do well) so they can’t come to us and claim we owe them money when their personal investments are wiped out.
Otherwise they just abdicate any sense of personal responsibility for their own actions and expect everyone else to make them whole again, like they have a right to force us to make them whole again.
