A Law For The Rich and A Law For The Poor

After reading this little letter from a certain Geoff Naylor in the Belfast Telegraph today, I couldn't help but think that there is no silly thing otherwise about this issue.



There is indeed a law for the poor, which is quite common and a law for the rich, which is commonly used to block certain criminal entities of having to answer to their crimes.

In most countries, Mr Naylor writes, there is "the law the vast majority has to abide by and a law that permits the powerful to transcend this law." If you still remember the Mossac Fonseca "Panama 
Papers" trouble the world's 1% found themselves almost in hell for the issue.

You might say it's ambitious but in a perfect world, the law protects the rights of every individual as it is found in the principle that man is equal in the eyes of God.


But what God allows an imbalance in society that allows one man to trample against his fellowmen? Indeed, this is reality; I have accepted such reality but I will never accept the fact that there is just one set of laws governing the world.
