    How difficult would it be to enact legislation to prevent using loans against stock/assets and avoiding income/capital gains tax? Something like “if you have things worth money you need to sell them before taking a frivolous loan.”? Idk I just hate that loophole

      Very hard, since you can just take the loan in a different country, even in USD.

      Wealth tax is probably much easier.
