The happiest taxes on earth - Commentary: More people are satisfied in heavily tariffed nations
#3
Another thing I like that is implemented in Finland and other places is if there is a government fine, say a parking fine, it is proprtional to your income, not a flat rate. If you are the CEO of Nokia, for example, you pay many times more for the same fine that a dishwasher on minimum pay in the Nokia cafetaria would pay for the same fine.
