Quote:Vehicles are transportation, people can't have jobs without transportation. Isn't that the point of this argument? We're letting people profit off the poor who can't afford to pay citations why is it ok to let people profit off transportation at all? I mean if they don't change their oil they can't get to work, so why should I profit off an oil change?

You are using a slippery slope fallacy. 

 

We are discussing the idea that fines imposed by society for breaking laws are being used to make money for private industry. And not just some money, a lot. In what world does that make sense? You spoke to corruption in the private rain prisons. Why is there corruption? Because something that should be handled by the public sector has been pushed to a for profit organization which, GASP, only wants to make as much money as possible. It breeds corruption and who get's hurt the most? Those without means.  

 

It's not a private offense but a public/societal one. This should be handled publicly not privately. Want to know why some people seem to hate the free market ideal and privatization of public services so much? Because of nonsense like this.
