Completely on point. Especially true of the American public.
Getting people to migrate to this scheme is a huge problem. Today in America, voting is a right. However, to many, it appears to be a financially free activity as well. Or some may tie it in with "you get to vote if you pay taxes". Regardless, this "pay into a fund in order to vote" won't really go well -- we already pay a fund (taxes), and it's distribution is mishandled / non-optimally allocated / gamed by people in the system.
