The incumbent powers will say that this promotes a lot of freedom and a lot of rights. Free trade, free markets, freedom, freedom, freedom. Property rights are individual rights! You don't want to be a dirty socialist, do you? Property rights are the underpinning of all freedom. If you refuse to strengthen them, you refuse to strengthen liberty, you monster!
Here we see property rights being strengthened to the point of undermining popular sovereignty! How can they be called rights when the stronger they are and the more aggressively they are enforced the more authoritarian the world feels?

- noonespecial 11y agoAll this is true. The sneaky thing they are doing is to quietly define more and more of the things you pay for to no longer be your property.
