If you are the CEO of Nokia, for example, you pay many times more for the same fine that a dishwasher on minimum pay in the Nokia cafetaria would pay for the same fine.

I never heard of that. I never even stopped to think about how regressive fines are. I guess I'm the quintessential good American; I never stopped to think...
