Reply to comment by Big_Forever5759 in New Delaware Law Ends Many Fines And Fees That Criminalize Poverty by Osterstriker

The problem is those who have exceeding wealthy often have money stowed away in stock and stuff.

Personally I think once someone make or have more than certain amount, they should be forced to pay with stocks or whatever. That way it will hurt more than them spending what they will make in a few hours by doing literally nothing.

Stocks are part of "wealth."

Once someone have enough stocks, they pretty much make their income off stock alone.

Fining someone like this won’t do a thing. Take the stock away and they will feel the pinch!

Fine stocks harder. Fine them more than the value of their holdings. There are a huge amount of ways around this without giving the government more confiscatory power without any reason.
