Bill Burr says what we’re all thinking: If your workers can't pay rent, you're not paying them enough. 💸
Extreme wealth shouldn't exist alongside extreme struggle. That’s why we’re calling for a #WealthTax—to reinvest in the people who actually keep the economy running.
On #TaxDay, the gap between the ultra-wealthy and everyone else has never been more visible.
"There is no justification for a regressive system in which the super-rich contribute less than the rest of us." — Stiglitz, Zucman, and Mamdani in @TheGuardian.
#TaxTheRich
Research into "the psychology of wealth" suggests that extreme financial success can rewire our brains, often at the cost of empathy and social connection.
Read more about what extreme wealth does to the human psyche in this piece from Intelligencer. ⬇️
Could Denmark soon reintroduce a wealth tax?🤞 Across the world, governments are stepping up to tackle the rising inequality that’s damaging their countries. Millionaires like us support them - and it should give us all hope.

"A wealth tax might be the only way to avoid civil war."
David Friedberg explains how the asset gap is driving populism and unrest.
To avoid a violent breaking point, a functional redistribution of wealth is necessary. 💸 It’s time to #TaxTheRich for a stable future. 🧵👇
If you paid more than 3.4% in taxes last year, you paid a higher rate on your growth than the 25 richest people in America.
It’s time for a #WealthTax. #MillionairesForHumanity
Being wealthy doesn’t make you generous.
📉 New @forbes.com data shows only 6 of the 12 wealthiest Americans made the Top 25 Philanthropists list. While some give 30%+, others stay below 1%.
Voluntary giving isn't enough to fix a broken system. ⚖️

According to new Forbes data, a 5% wealth tax on California's richest would still leave them EXTREMELY WEALTHY - you do not need to worry about them. ⭐

When we talk about a wealth tax, the response is often: "That’s class war!" 🚩
This allows those at the very top to frame themselves as the "keepers of the peace," while dismissing the lived reality of millions as an emotional outburst.

Sweden used to be the gold standard for equality. Now, it's a "paradise for the super-rich." 📉🇸🇪

Income tax is failing to capture the extreme concentration of wealth at the top. 📉
@gabrielzucman.bsky.social explains why we need a 2% global minimum tax on billionaires to restore fairness and fund the climate transition.

We are proud to see our joint open letter "Time to Win" campaign making headlines in The Guardian.

We are proud to see the "Time to Win" campaign making headlines in The Guardian.
Our joint open letter—signed by nearly 400 people incl. Mark Ruffalo, Abigail Disney, and Brian Eno—calls on global leaders at Davos to finally address the toxic concentration of extreme wealth.
Rutger Bregman challenges the wealthy: The entrepreneurs who changed history didn't just donate on the side—they went "all in."
Today’s crises demand the same. Stop protecting net worth. Start building a legacy.

ICYMI, we joined @oxfamgb.bsky.social and @mills4humanity.bsky.social in signing a letter urging leaders at Davos to tax millionaires more.
Read this week’s Closer Look to see how taxing the super rich can help win back our democracies.

We agree. It’s time to pay up.
As billionaires and leaders arrive in Davos, protesters from the "Everybody Hates Elon Campaign" are greeting them with this massive banner near the Zurich airport.
#TaxTheRich #Davos #WEF #Inequality
Our global economy is a "leaky bucket" and resources are draining away from the places they are needed most.
This is exactly why we advocate for a wealth tax. We need to plug the hole.

We keep hearing that taxing the ultra-rich is "complicated." It’s really not.
If you have the cash to rent Venice or send pop stars to space, you have the cash to pay a fair tax rate.

"Paying taxes is a f*****g privilege."
Comedian Josh Widdicombe gets it. We get it.
When tax revenue can lift 450,000 kids out of poverty, the "fear" of taxing the rich becomes absurd. It's not a burden. It's the rent we pay for a functioning society.
Tax us. #TaxTheRich
#WealthTax #TheLastLeg
The ultimate argument against a Wealth Tax is the threat of "capital flight." ✈️
But as @martynalinartas.bsky.social points out, research shows billionaires are more likely to die than to relocate their lives to another country.
Roots matter more than rates.

The reality of our global economy:
❌The bottom 3.5 Billion people: Struggle to afford food and basic medicine. 💰The top 62 people: Own more wealth than all of them combined.
Richard Wolff calls it "beyond obscene." We call it a broken system.

@mintpressnews.bsky.social
Economist Esther Duflo explains how the richest people on the planet legally avoid paying their fair share—and the massive impact a small change could make.
A 3% tax on the world’s 🌍 3,000 richest people could raise $400 💰 every single year.
Imagine what we could fix with that?

We lit up Table Mountain & Joburg with a message the G20 can't ignore: TAX THE SUPER RICH.
70% of the public want it. 70% of millionaires want it. The planet needs it.
It’s time for G20 leaders to deliver.

Youth unemployment in Ghana keeps rising — and so do social risks.
Taxing the super rich can fund skills, education, and opportunity.
