You seem to set income = wealth. The fines are income based, with income scaling with hard work.
That never makes a grocery worker equal a banker, but twice the hours at hourly wage means twice the income, thus twice the fine within income-based systems such as Finland.
- Retric 8y agoIncome does not imply wealth, but wealth does imply income. Eventually, wealth results in income even for lazy bums. So, you can’t defend income by saying they must work hard as many of the largest incomes have nothing to do with hard work.
- arghwhat 8y agoWealth does not imply income. You could be a retired with a massive fortune and no income. You could be born into wealth, not actually earning any yourself. They are different concepts. One can lead to another, by neither implies the other.
- Retric 8y ago> Retired with a massive fortune. Things of extreme value create income streams property > rent, companies > dividends, apreceation, and buybacks. Bonds > interest etc. Even cold hard cash in a savings account generates significant income when you start talking about 100,000,000+$ just sitting there.
