The quality of justice should not be determined by the size of your net worth.
Why is this important?
For too long in our country, we have been forced to watch repeated offenders of heinous crimes against humanity walk simply because they could afford a "good" attorney. Meanwhile, the poor (mostly minorities), are repeatedly arrested or incarcerated long-term for petty, non-violent offenses. This causes a financial strain on poor communities, pushing them further into poverty by dismantling families and contributes to the number of people on welfare.
Let's change that! Tell Congress and the White house that we want the amount that a law firm or private attorney is paid to be limited to no more than $25/hour. This closes the bridge between the lower and upper middle class and forces them to work for the people instead of exploiting them. It also means that attorneys will no longer be motivated to accept high-profile criminal cases based on how much they will make. Together, we can end crime-profiting and hopefully crime itself.
