I think that is disgusting and wrong. The punishment should suit the crime--it has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with how much the offender makes.
I used to go to peoples' houses and fix their computers in my spare time. Some people I worked for could barely afford to pay me, others were absolutely loaded. My friends all suggested that I charge the rich people a whole lot more, but fuck that retarded bullshit mentality. I charged the same amount across the board because my work is worth the exact same regardless of who it's for. My time doesn't suddenly become worth twice as much because I'm fixing some rich guy's computer. Just like speeding doesn't suddenly become a far more severe crime just because a millionaire is at the wheel.
Sparhawk-- Rich people face having their insurance dropped, license revoked, etc. just like anybody else. Sure they can more easily afford a speeding ticket, but that kind of comes with having a lot of money.
