Phrase(s): one law for the rich and another for the poor
Prov. Rich people are sometimes able to escape without punishment when they commit crimes, while poor people are usually punished. • It doesn’t seem fair—rich people can avoid paying their taxes and not get in trouble, but poor people are always punished if they don’t pay. We shouldn’t have one law for the rich and another for the poor.
