While true, the numbers are not even, since the are more poorer people who do care about the extra money, so it may be a practical approach.

Is the number not being even a good reason to create policy that favors some over others?
How impractical is it to make fines income/wealth-variable?

There's a difference here though. It's a lack of benefits, not a fine. You could adjust the latter based on the income, but not the former. Technical detail, but i believe benefits impact is easier to pass as a law than an outright fine.
Btw, higher income people are also impacted by policies like kindergarten access http://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/no-childcare-o...
