Debt to Society?
Manage episode 254466264 series 2534041
What do you owe and how much? Or do you owe anything to all? Coffeyville, Kansas has found a way to put people into jail for past debt, any debt. With a judicial system that applies any bail money to the debt, collection agencies are now incentivized to get debtors thrown in jail. Couple that with a new immigration rule from the Trump administration that applies a 'wealth test' for legal immigrants. If a person is likely to be a 'public charge' they will be denied entrance or continued residency. And now, a resurgence in the closed border debate within the liberty movement that largely revolves around this very issue. Is the value of a human only on a monetary scale, are we only indebted to society?
