The internet erupted overnight. Some called it the fairest law in the world — a rule that finally made the rich feel what the poor always have. Others called it class warfare disguised as justice.
“Why punish success?” critics wrote. “If someone worked hard to earn their money, why should a speeding ticket cost them a house?”
But supporters fired back. “Because a fine that means nothing isn’t punishment at all,” one comment read. “Fairness means everyone feels it.”
That argument soon reached the highest offices — and lawmakers realized they couldn’t stay silent any longer.
