Hot take: Fines should be based on your income. The bigger your income, the bigger the fine.
Fines are something used to discourage someone doing something, but it’s hardly discouraging for a millionaire who can happily take a parking ticket whenever they like, they aren’t above the law.
what if i was to make billions of dollars, then spend all of that on assets… i then get a low paying job at a place like McDonald, then i sell all of my assets for cash(so the gov cant tax me and base my fines off of taxes)? making me able to commit crimes without having to pay a ton on fines?
well don’t billionares make it so that all the money they are receiving isn’t income?
