Reply #52: Who has been calling for "tort reform" for the past twenty years or so? [View All]

Repukes dislike lawyers who sue big corporations for personal injury and negligence...They'd rather corporations keep their money and reputations so as to continue to contribute to their campaigns.

"The idea is that because they know some people with money that are progressives, that everyone at the top should be shown due consideration".

First of all, I would hardly conflate lawyers with "billionaires"...The former might make a decent income (unless they are public defenders, for instance) but they are VERY rarely "billionaires" or anything close to it.

Beyond that, your above quote regarding the fact that "some" people with money doesn't necessarily mean that all or "most" are, holds just as true for your judgment that "99 percent of lawyers are untrustworthy" just because you had a bad experience with one or a few of them.
