This has been said repeatedly but some of you are clearly missing the point...

Penalty should fit the crime.

For a poor person 10 years in jail is just as bad as 10 years for a rich person.

For a poor person a 200 dollar fine will put a hamper on their groceries that month.

For a rich person 200 dollar fine will do absolutely nothing and have no effect.

Thats the argument and its a damn good one.
