No. The fine is the fine, period. Should there be a sliding scale for a loaf of bread also?

I'm all for EQUALITY OF OPPORTUNITY, not EQUALITY OF OUTCOME. Those in favor of the latter usually subscribe to a set of beliefs where the state confiscates wealth from some citizens and redistributes it to others, so as to make everything "fair". I strongly disagree with that approach.
