The point is making the fine a punishment.
If you fine a millionaire £100 it is meaningless, there is no point in doing it. If you fined me £100 I would feel it and it would be tougher to make ends meet that month.
The point of this iniative isnt because the Finnish government hate rich people, the point is to make people obey the law - and to do that you have to have punishments available that will hurt criminals - to give them a reason not to re-offend.
