Because man. There would be other rich people, who make money off of
poorer people by suing the hell out of rich people or corporations for
usurping their rights. It happens now. The idea is to decongest the courts
for actual violations of contracts than the crap you see in courts these
days. Of course rich people will do what is in their power to have the
upper hand, but thats how it is now, and the current government itself helps
them out a hell of a lot in that regard. You think your taxes are helping
the poor, you imbecile (1), when they are helping the rich far more.
1 - no offense, but if you didn't act like one, it wouldn't need to be said.
