1. Speeding
a) Give one argument for making the fine for speeding proportional to income.
b) Give one argument against making the fine for speeding proportional to income.
2. Equality before the Law
In principle, for US citizens in US courts there is equality before the Law. In practice, however, richer individuals can afford to allocate more resources to preparing and presenting their cases, including hiring more talented lawyers, with the result that they are more likely to win their cases.
What do you think David Friedman's (the book's author) opinion would be about the "fairness" of this reality?
