FINANCIAL DISCRIMINATION

Should the Government be Sued

If you make over 250k a year you will be the victim of discrimination under laws being contemplated in Washington. Taxing me differently than others in our society, treating me and others as a “Different Class of Citizen”, touting “Class Warfare” is not only unfair I believe it is either Unconstitutional, Discriminatory, Illegal or all the above. This argument has legal standing if we just follow the laws already enacted by the very Lawmakers that now want to single out a class of citizen and redistribute wealth disproportionately. This is as fundamental an argument as the ERA, Civil Rights, discrimination laws and others at the state and federal level. Treating citizens differently, applying the law upon them differently and profiling them not based on race but financial status is an obvious violation of our rights.

Am I going to sue the government? Yes! Isn’t it my duty as a citizen to point out discrimination and fight discriminatory laws and practices. Why shouldn’t the Supreme Court here this argument? I expect as this subject begins to stand out that a herd of lawyers will want to support me in the effort.

Developed countries, not just the US, mandate that people must be dealt with on an equal basis regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, nationality, sexuality and sometimes religion and political views. This applies to employment, in consumer transactions and in political participation as well. The horrifying thing is that in a capitalist nation we are going to discriminate against our successful citizens - that 5% being proclaimed as the affluent most of whom employ much of the other 95%. Taking mortgage interest deductions away from only the $250k and above earners and raising various taxes on capital gains, small business income and so on is the very foundation of laws that have been passed focused on not letting this unfairness happen. This isn’t just wrong there is an extensive legal, moral and civil history based directly on discrimination of one class of citizen over another.

In short Anti-discrimination law refers to the law on people's right to be treated equally.
