[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3295055, member: 43724"] Well said. That's why I asked for info on the person who got a $500 ticket, went to jail, lost his job, ticket turned into $2K and he/she went back to jail and now can't find a job. First off, I've never heard of a parking ticket cost that much here in OK. Second, I've never seen a court refuse to make a payment plan. Without a court case to read up on, without actual facts to study the story sounds more BS than it does as a real life story. People in here are throwing around the phrase 'debtor's prison' and I don't think they really know how that worked. If you want a good visual, watch Ready Player One. They had a true debtor's prison in that movie. As for the system stacked against the people? I also come from a poor background. I blew my chance at a prestigious college and a guaranteed career after graduation. Since then I've not finished college even though I have two years left yet I've gotten a job that now pays all our bills, mortgage, car payment, credit cards and still have money left over for fun things like a cruise every other year. It helps now that my wife is working also and my step son lives with us, works as well, pays us rent, picks up the dinner tab and groceries now and then, etc. So saying you can't make it without a college degree is bs. Our society has become the society of victims where personal responsibility has become an old fashioned and forgotten virtue. [/QUOTE]
