Law favours the rich, & not the poor

It would be a happy truth for the rich.
Life stinks for the poor chap, rather than bemoan this universal law, concentrate on becoming rich and helping the poor who can't defend themselves.
Agreed
Nah cos they knew e truth all along but kindda go with u on ur 2nd half.
all men are equal!! none are above the law nor below it ..
that is a viewpoint that considers Money as god
but if you consider people as precious beings, then you will want the constitution to curb the predatory instincts of the rich over the poor
i think in s'pore i dont see the rich expoiting the poor? if the poor accepts what the rich offers him, then its a fair deal. monies make the world go round
not in those areas which affect the health and where the decision made/induced is irreversible
any specific examples bro? the poor has no access to healthcare?
regarding your example of poor having no access to healthcare - i cannot recall any country in this world which willingly endorse this;
but your point of poor having no access to healthcare is not related to the rich having the right to do anything they want
nonetheless if what you are actually saying is that the rich can afford better healthcare than the poor, then i would agree for the simple reason that on a human perspective, everyone wants the good life....
however the word is 'can afford', not 'more deserving'
...
but a just society must put constraints on the exploitation of the rich...some examples would be:
(i) health: organ trading - potential for the rich exploits the poor - forbidden by the constitution of all democratic countries
(ii) politics: using money to buy votes - forbidden by the constitution of all democratic countries
(iii) exploitation of women into slavery or underaged sex - forbidden by the constitution of all democratic countries
thus in these cases, even if you have the money, you still cannot take away the rights of others to their dignity
(note that the voters, underaged girl and the person who sold his organ may all be desperate for money)
thus laws should be made to protect the rights of all; not to enhance the rights of the rich and powerful
Check out today's papers (ST or TNP).
'Let's not rule out organ trading yet' says Health Minister.
Singapore is not ruling out legalising organ trading.
If it happens, kidneys are very precious items. Imagine 1 for $300,000.
Don't forget GST! Plus you can use your medisave too! :p Excuse me while I go to a corner and cry now...:(
