He is a simple solution...have every one pay the same rate. Like in Europe. A speeding ticket based off of my income will be about $100. Depending on how rich I am that same speeding ticket would cost me 1000 to 1 Million. If I am a billionaire a $100 dollar ticket would not deter me. So, it is fair.

No, that isn't fair.  Why, because person A makes more than person B, should person A have to pay $1 million each time they speed versus person B only having to pay $100 each time they speed?  Person A and person B committed the exact same crime, so they should be punished the exact same amount.

A billionaire will care about a $100 fine?  it is hardly an punishment.
