@scottsantens I learned something horrible this election cycle -- that some conservatives are willing to block or approve things with no regard how it hurts themselves, as long as it hurts *others* more. Their goal is to always make sure someone is below them.

From this perspective it seems unlikely that such a thing would easily pass in the US because it blurs the lines of the imagined classes. Seems like yet another reason to add to the list of "why we can't have nice things"...
