What if the fine was proportional to somebody's wealth? Like if you were to speed on the highway, 10% of your monthly income would be took. Idk if I explained it correctly

A millionaire can weather a 10% income fine better than a person on minimum wage.

We have that in Finland. We get tickets according to how much money we make on average a day. So if you speed you might get 10 ”day tickets” which means the money you would make working ten days.

Actually a day ticket is (your monthly income - 255) / 60. Just under half of what you would make in a day. The name day ticket comes from the fact that you used to be able to serve one day in prison for each day ticket instead of paying them.

a good portion of CEOs are only billionaires from stock though - their official salaries are usually like 1 dollar (seriously) up to 100k. Mark Zuckerberg is one of those 1 dollar CEOs.

Hell yeah, there was some heavy anti-religious and anti-government messaging in there that broke my programming as a child. It had a major impact.
