Fucker...you qutoed before I saved the changes. I'm thinking that race isn't really fitting here because you could easily argue about our progressive tax system. |

Bullshit!!! I want equal treatment period. If I get a speeding ticket and a non-working loser gets the same ticket, I don't want him getting a lighter fine. If I work my ass off and make $100,000 a year, it doesn't mean that I should pay more for a traffic ticket.
Some of you applaud this action now because the guy was worth $20,000,000 but how would you feel in court if they hit you with a $2,000 fine while letting the next guy off for $100? It's the same old deal, it sounds good to make the "rich" pay more (fine, taxes, etc) until someone decides that YOU are "rich". Hell maybe parking tickets should be based on how much the car is worth. |

To a millionaire, a $400 ticket is a mere road tax.
By making the ticket commensurate with the person's wealth, the discouragement against committing the crime again is proportionate. This is the theory here, and if the fine is in fact there to truly discourage the offense, then the rationale is valid. It isn't about socialism, it's about enforcement. |
