If you're equal in the eyes of the law and somebody makes 10,000 dollars a year and has to pay 1,000 dollars, then doesn't it stand to reason that somebody who makes ten billion dollars should have to pay one billion?
Exactly. You can't turn this around and say it is the quality of being rich that is being punished here. If a deterrent is going to be effective I don't know how you could possibly ignore the circumstances of the offender.
