My comment has zip to do with comparisons and where I live has nothing to do with my comments/questions to you.
So you agree, there is a double standard in our justice system and those with little means are often left twisting in the wind, ruined and looted while the wealthy and powerful often skate on influence, power and wealth.
I don't agree with that at all and never suggested so. The inequities you speak of have been a part of every justice system that ever has and ever will exist, not necessarily because of a 'double standard' in the system but because they all have to be administered by corrupt, greedy, ambitious and often evil people. That's reality and you can't change it. And it isn't just those of "little means" that can get hammered by it, the wealthy can get hammered by it just as easy if they make the wrong political enemies - look what's being done to our billionaire president right now. Yet, our system is the best that has ever been devised so far and has the most safeguards. If you have improvements to suggest please do so.
