Rich and Poor Criminals in a World of Inequality

The piece argues that justice favors the rich over the poor, detailing how a poor man jailed for petty theft prompts calls for fairness, while a wealthy offender faces obstacles to trial or acquittal. It links underwork, laziness, and health to societal outcomes and emphasizes the need for equal treatment before the law. It ends with an unrelated local note about shoe repair services at Kennewick Harness Shop.
