instead of enforcing any restriction, what about raising the stepup rate, that way at least everyone gets a chance to make his/her own choice. Forcing anyone to do anything in the name of public benefit sounds a bit too convenient, and the call out on celebrities or whatnot reminds one of tyranny of the majority.
It is definitely difficult to say. It is obvious that the increase rate + fine is not working which is why government choose the extreme act. By allowing rich people to pay and get out of policy, you are basically putting them above the public.However, I can see how this sounds fascist.
