A fine is a tax for doing wrong; a tax is a fine for doing well.

The adventures and semi-coherent ramblings of an overworked, middle-aged, libertarian-leaning, corporate drone who is immensely proud of his girls and his long-suffering wife. With maybe some gun stuff, travel stuff, cooking stuff, genealogy stuff, and other manly pursuits.

And the plaintiff's bar claims to "do well by doing good." Which is why they should be taxed at 95% or more, and why the idea that punitive damages aren't fines within the meaning of the Eighth Amendment's Excessive Fines Clause is absurd.
That is the perfect quote with which to mark my reemergence after tax season. Thanks for that. It's good to be back.
And it's good to have you back, Maggie!
