Temporarily. Immediately after they purged each other in an internecine slaughterhouse. Then went on to be subjugated by Napoleon who crowned himself Emperor, which kind of made the whole effort a moot point, eh?

...So perhaps more cautionary tale than prospective template. Besides, this is America. Our cultural tradition is a lot more immediately available. Nobody is ever that far from a tall tree & a short rope.

Other candidates will weaponize my professional background & 20 years extranational against me.
My current focus is entirely dedicated to democratic survival. This administration has shown EVERY intent & sign to upend our 250 year experiment in a bid for absolute power. Without a system where change is possible nearly every other concern & effort becomes secondary. Towards that end i've got a plan to checkmate him at midterms.

I like this. More humane. But any criminal aspects should be addressed first. Should the rich person be grouped with the innocent poor, as an equal?

I think not.

Implementation though would require a level of invasive oversight i'm not sure most folks would be comfortable with violating privacy norms over. In order to ensure compliance, you're essentially creating a demand for constant surveillance that i'm confident wouldn't survive a 4th amendment court test.
