Like paying for an overdue library book
If you figure the percentages, Gates paying a $800k fine is about the same as us regular folks paying a fine for an overdue library book, about 25-50 cents. They should at least up it so that it's like paying a stiff traffic ticket, say the equivalent of about $250 for us.

You know, it probably cost him less to pay the $800k fine than to hire the lawyers and accountants to help him comply with the law fully.
