Those things affect most people, it's just that poor people don't have any reputation to worry about, and won't afford the fees. Rich people can also be punished by fees if they got them as much as the middle class (i.e. they need to be based on net worth), prison time will affect everyone. The biggest issue is that rich can use their money and influence to escape justice, I suppose maybe it means that reputation is the only thing left to control the rich, but that hardly helps, there are many rich people with horrible reputation that still do very well, one even got the highest office in the land.
