So you advocate discrimination based on how much money a person has? The 9/11 attackers had access to unlimited money while they were here. They were rich (in pocket). They were a real problem. Advocating discrimination against the poor anywhere, based purely on the fact that they are poor, is advocating breaking the constitution and the law. It will not stand in a country that calls itself America. Discrimination based on these purely prejudiced factors is un-American, and unethical, ignorant, and illegal. They should be sued .
