I don't know about a $25.00/hr wage, but one of the many brilliant things Switzerland does is ties fees/fines to income. So, if you are a rich man and get a speeding ticket, it will pay substantially more. I think they tie fees/fines to all aspects of working/living in Switzerland? A poor person who gets a $800 speeding ticket could become homeless. A rich person getting a expensive ticket is like getting decaf at Starbucks. People, will counter saying oh the rich pay more in income taxes. Yes-- in many cases, but I still feel fines/fees should be tied to a persons annual income. I feel it is so important it should be an admendment. I had a friend in college who dropped out after getting a $500 red light ticket. He wouldn't admit the ticket played a part in him dropping out, but I think it was a factor. I will always remember how he felt when that ticket arrived in the mail, while just finishing top ramen. He was a poor kid from an ethnic family. He was maxed out on loans and grants, and just always on the edge. Oh well, I hope you are doing well Max.
