Replying to Avatar Paul

You're assuming that the fines should be proportional to the wealth of the violator rather than proportional to the inconvenience caused by the violator as a result of the action being fined.

The question isn't how to make fines proportional to wealth, the question is how to make fines proportional to actual inconvenience caused rather than assessed arbitrarily by the state.

The goal of a deterrent is to deter. If it’s only a deterrent to certain classes of people, you’ve created a systemic problem.

I’m not necessarily in favor of the scaled approach. Dude said AMA so I did.
