Only the middle class will be worried about this. Larry was obviously never broke. When you’re broke with no options, you don’t care. What are they going to sue, sue you when you’re already in a stack of debt? Take away the house and car you don’t own? Get you removed from your crappy job you hate anyway? I don’t see that as a plan the works out like they expect it to. It’s only when you have something to lose you’re worried about losing things. When you’re starting with nothing, there’s nothing they can take from you. Their plan doesn’t account for that.

When you have nothing to lose, you finally become free for the first time in your life.
