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.

What drug was it? I have a problem with the concept of fines in some occasions. People who act by proxy ( driver, lawyer, assistant, etc. ) and who are wealthy never get a fine. Other persons have no chance for any sort of proxy, they do everything themselves and thus are much more often directly personally involved in everything. So they also get the fines. The just and unjust ones. Justice is meant to address a personal failure, so I think too many proxies get spanked and too many poor souls that cannot evade life.
