I see these "middle class" people loosely in Homer's category - someone with house, car, job, family, indulge a bit may be not always with the safe amount of due diligence, but they survive their high jinxes and live on.
They are a part of the work force, are themselves employed and employ others. They are the ones that can splash out for the flashy holidays, they are the one that keep the country moving, whichever their political inclinations are, they are also a part of the food chain that is society.
Jails are full so if these guys are caught, they just pay a heftier fine, which they can afford, and carry on as normal. There isn't much deterrent, yet. Unless this is some dumb idea to squeeze the people that move the stuff on a very large scale, I think this is just to target the "middle class" because most are pretty tame, benign, and can pay up.
M_C I am intrigued by your observation, mind explaining it for me?
