First off, excuse my syntax. On the road and my phone.

So, an amish family targeted for 250k fine.

In Yoder, Kansas this fine would be absorbed by the community. When i lived in hutch there were i would guess 100 amish families in yoder.

This would mean to cover 250k fine, each family would pay 2,500.00.

For a land owning amish family, this is nothing.

They spend no money compared to the starbucks coffee in morning crowd.

They are frugal to the most extreme.

It is strange, though.

They really do not place value on currency, except to protect their way of life if under attack.

Does that make sense?

They have tons of money, but have no use for it because of the way they live.

But, attack them?

Yeah, the money comes out.

Why, traditionally they are/have never been target rich.

Hope this helps.
