Comment on Google hit with $314m fine for collecting data from idle Android phones without permission

Over here in Finland fines for any but the minor offences are defined in percents of income, not in fixed sums of money. There have been cases of traffic fines of several hundreds of thousands for going 30 km/h over the speed limit. That makes them a punishment for very richest people as well, not only for the lower class.

Except capital income can be hidden in other countries, still giving an unfair advantage to the super rich.
