When a sovereign government takes a policy decision, good or bad, and the concerned citizens find a morally dubious way to circumvent decision, what is the reaction of the media and commentators ? They express contempt toward the assholes ? No way ! They poke fun at said government.
World is a sad place.
Or maybe the government is deploying ridiculously outdated socialist ideologies. These people are not assholes. Would you be happy if a 75% tax were levied on your earnings?
If one earns one f**king million and bitches about how much taxes he pays despite the fact that even after paying them he still lives better than 95% of the population, yes, such person is a despicable asshole.

From what you're saying if both the decisions of the government and the citizens are wrong, we should attribute more blame to the citizens. Are you saying we should automatically give the government the benefit of the doubt instead of the citizens?
Since people voted for Hollande, whose program included said tax proposal, just three months ago, it can be said that it's the citizens who took the decision already. What's happening is that a small part of the citizens doesn't like it and strives to circumvent the decision.
