    I don’t know the exact proportion but it is meant to be painful but not debilitating no matter your degree of wealth. Yes, it’s fundamentally more consequential to lower incomes, but it’s a hell of a lot better than the system we have in the US.

      I agree it’s better, but the impact on someone’s life should be the same. Otherwise, you disproportionately target the poor.

        That’s the entire point of it being wealth-proportionate. To hit everyone hard enough that it hurts without crushing them.
