Shut Down the F___ Barrel !!!

Poor people unable to pay initial small fines end up with escalating charges from private probation companies, even extended time in prison…at huge cost to the taxpayers that the new regime of fees based on "let-the-offender-pay" ideas concocted by libertarians in the 1970's was supposed to save.  So the taxpayer is loosing too, not to mention the general welfare when people loose their cars and jobs over such stuff--by which time they're surely never going to pay those fines--but oodles of private middlemen make out like bandits and try to get the rules and laws changed to make even more at the expense of the poor and defenseless.
