You're statement is not true.

Disincentives don't make people make good choices, they make them make different choices.

Incentives guide people to make a specific choice.

It is the role of a central planner to pick a particular outcome, and it's also the worst strategy of the modern era.

Everything which is not forbidden is allowed. Your belief that you should make the positive choice on behalf of others is the most dangerous philosophy of the 20th century.
