You can argue as much as you want about what is theoretically is, but this is exactly how all practical attempts ended up, aiming the lower common possible denominator.

I also don't see how more and more regulations ensure this won't happen, as it most likely had the exact opposite effect: prevent new wealth from establishing itself (high regulation preventing blooming wealth from building enough momentum to escape taxes) and enshrines "old" money. Regulations gives a clear advantage to people already established.
Moreover, because some people choose not to own doesn't mean it shall be imposed by force to a whole population.
- Canada has literally no enshrined property rights (fuck, even People's Republic of China has private property rights in its Constitution). This was a special request of the socialist eastern provinces when the "Constitution" was put in place in the 1980's under Trudeau senior rule.
- Canada is the only country in the world where the Law grants special status to people by blood, cf. the Indian Act, which was used as a model for the apartheid laws in South Africa.
- Socialized health-care is essentially a joke.
- Taxes are higher.
In a general way, Canadian hate the Americans while desiring their lifestyle (same as what's happening in Quebec versus the Anglos; Quebekers hates English folks without realizing how their own culture is based on "Englishism" (often just badly translated in a patois french); in Europe (I come from there), they hates the Americans, but are submitting to American culture unable to develop a strong culture of their own, all being nothing but basic petty resentment).
Finally, everything otherwise plentiful south of the border is harder to find / more expensive (CAD is called the Canadian Pesos for a reason, because it ain't worth shit).
Of course, I didn't know any of that 15 years ago.
At least, the US (outside of the blue states) have some leftover Rights worth fighting for.
Then the "rich" will no longer own anything, officially, their company will. There is no difference between having $1 billion in cash and being the director and fully controlling a $1 billion "company".
Claiming "whatever tax credit" is not a "loophole" but merely claiming what the law allows you to claim.
Given the speeding up of inflation, reaching $25m will happen in no time...
Sure, let's go back to feudalism !! Yeah!!
Until then, it is just a bad ruling.
Both the Constitution and the 10th Amendment make it pretty clear that the Federal government has no business in these area.
This and the Commerce Clause "loophole" can hardly be used to mingle in private state business as long as the firearms don't cross state line.
Who the fuck know what they want to do for the rest of their lives at 15 or 16, most likely without having the possibility to re-invest 3+ years to change branch ?
Do you mean 21 voices each with their own culture and chauvinism ?
Only in rural North America, otherwise, everybody has the mentality as the Europeans. Otherwise, I wholeheartedly agree. Europeans don't know the meaning of the word "Freedom".
The only difference with the Uber and such is that people have no fear to break the Law.
The "bourgeoisie" never really figured out they needed workers to run the mines...
Here's Europe's problem.
The same way you don't need 5+ years university education to put together whatever piece of hardware / software together, the same way I don't need studying hydraulic to put together hydraulic implements.
Outside of the Linux kernel and version control, his opinions isn't worth the electrons used to transmit it.
Only in 60+ patients with co-morbidity.
