Fair punishment when it comes to fines should depend on the income. And maybe net wealth too excluding primary housing to certain median level of community.

Does a same fine have same deterrent level for both sub-minimum wage worker and billionaire? As that is clearly the goal of the fines. I think they should. And likely the billionaire should pay much higher relative proportion than someone at minimum wage as they have so much more disposable income.
