WHy the hell should the amount I earn, or be worth have anything to do with my fine? The law should be equally applied, but since this law is a percentage it is just a joke, anyway have a look at this

WHy the hell should the amount I earn, or be worth have anything to do with my fine? The law should be equally applied, but since this law is a percentage it is just a joke No, I think you're mistaken. A fine that is a percentage of income is not a joke, and that in fact is the entire point. A fine is supposed to be punishment and a deterrent, right? Fifty bucks gets my attention, but fining a billionaire fifty bucks is in fact a joke. You may as well not even bother and just give him a permanent exemption from obeying the law, because you sure haven't punished or deterred anything. So is that better? Just let him break the law, no punishment, when you and I need to heed? That's the logic, and it does make sense. To me, anyway. For regular people it's nothing especially notable. What makes this news is the astounding amount of the fine, but that's only because the perpetrator made SO MUCH DAMNED MONEY. That's two weeks of his salary? My god. |
