      There’s nothing wrong with being wealthy. It means you have the opportunity to contribute more to society than those with less means (and we should fix the tax loopholes that allow otherwise). Past a certain point, your effective tax should be 99.9%.

      I also believe that fines should be proportional to income. If you’re going to charge the person who makes $30,000/yr a $300 ticket, you should charge someone who makes $1,000,000 $10,000 for the same offense. Wealth should not be able to buy you out of things like that. Bail should also be set proportionally.
