not really; $100 for a pro athlete or CEO is not the same as $100 for me (college student); so in fact you aren't punishing people equally for breaking the same law if they pay the same amount of money, rather a percentage is a more logical deterrent |
I'd be mad about a $100 ticket if I had $200 in my bank account or $2000. |
Even if you were a pro athlete making 20 mil a year? |
Still. So you're saying if bill Gates murdered someone he should get life in prison, but if someone making 25 grand a year does it he should get what community service. It is all the same reasonings behind it.[/quote:453c5]
that's different, being incarcerated is equally tough for anyone, it don't matter if you're rich or poor; but a monetary fine's impact on a person is inversly proportional to their salary.
