AFFLUENZA





There is a new word for defense of  the super rich when getting caught red handed doing a crime.  "Affluenza".  It means you are so affluent you do not know the difference in right and wrong.

A rich spoiled kid in Texas drunk and high was driving recklessly when he struck a car on the side of the road that had car trouble and someone pulled over to help them.  The rich kid killed four of them in one swipe and although clearly was breaking the law he did not spend one day behind bars.
His team of lawyers used Afflenza as a defense.    Simply stated is that a defendant is wealthy and spoiled and  never  was taught the difference between right and wrong.

Of course poor people do not qualify to use this defense.


Is this America or what?
