Bruce Springsteen has been fined $500 for DUI. Should there be a sliding scale for fines (like in Switzerland) where the richer you are the more you pay? Is that fairer? Unfair? Tell me.
Yes, definitely. Otherwise you have virtually no penalty for the rich for laws whose penalties for breaking them are just fines. And a small mistake/infraction can break the bank of someone poor. The rich have too much privilege when it comes to the law even without fines being on a sliding scale.
