Yeah, Obama and the dems are all about oppressive government. Who
would dare to give the socialists all the credit? -Dave

Swiss court fines speeding millionaire $290,000
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

ST. GALLEN, Switzerland -- A Swiss court has slapped a wealthy speeder with
a chalet-sized fine - a full $290,000.

Judges at the cantonal court in St. Gallen, in eastern Switzerland, based
the record-breaking fine on the speeder's estimated wealth of over $20
million.

A statement on the court's Web site says the driver - a repeat offender -
drove up to 35 miles an hour (57 kilometers an hour) faster than the
50-mile-an-hour (80-kilometer-an-hour) limit.

Court clerk Heidi Baumann-Becker said Thursday the unidentified driver can
appeal the decision, handed down in November, to the Swiss supreme court.

The Blick daily newspaper in Zurich reported the fine was more than twice
the previous Swiss record of about $107,000.

My only thought on that blatantly socialistic penalty is:

"HEY, Buford...!"

It gets better.... The UK is using a 'victims compensation' law to
increase fines for parking and speeding tickets... Who is the victim
that gets compensated? Government of course! the ruling parasite class.

http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/30/3012.asp

"
The victims' surcharge was first created in April 2007 as a means of
forcing violent criminals to compensate their victims. The fee would now
be imposed on motorists whose technical violations -- overstaying at a
parking meter, forgetting to wear a seatbelt or driving a few MPH over
the limit -- have no victims."

Fines should be based on income but if they really wanted to stop speeding
they'd throw speeders in prison.

The person cited is the victim so they can now apply for a payment from the
fund right?

Switzerland is socialist? I was unaware. Care to cite an example of that?
That is, after you ****ing READ KARL MARX and find out what a 'socialist'
really is.

Oppressive government bull**** isn't an exclusive function of
'socialists' real or imagined.
