Budget taxes ‘will push up food prices’ as Reeves strives to fix the economy The Chancellor is expected to opt for a 'smorgasbord' of tax rises

You're not ever going to fix an economy with the same tools of robbery and reward that broke it. At least more than temporarily. #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #makepovertyhistory

inews.co.uk/news/politic...

...how much people have. And as Churchill said in his enlightened days as a #Georgist Liberal ask instead "how did you get it" and reward those who produce the wealth and tax those who take the surplus generated by the whole of society. #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #makepovertyhistory

It's another politicians tinkering aimlessly (and destructively) day!

It's so frustrating being a #Georgist #SingleTax advocate on a budget day. You just want to scream "stupid people" at all o them! #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #valueourplanet #makepovertyhistory

Social mobility ‘flatlining’ despite increased HE participation Link between higher education and higher earnings weakens across many OECD countries, showing need to strengthen alternative options

As long as you tax it, work won't pay anything like as well as rent seeking #abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #makepovertyhistory #valueourplanet #makeworkpay:

Strive for a world in which charity and hand-outs dependent on politicians are not longer needed:

You, and your political favourites, are not pro-life if you do not recognise the absolute right of everyone born on the planet you didn't create to a place on it on which to live that life.

That's all of you: #labour #libdem #tory #green #reform

#sharetherents #makepovertyhistory #abolishtaxes

If your party's platform rests on taxing wealth, trade & incomes while privatising economic rents of land & monopolies then you are poverty promoters, productivity preventers.

#abolishtaxes #sharetherents #superchargetheeconomy #makepovertyhistory

#labour #tory #libdem #green #reform

All of you.

Nelson Mandela quote from 2005 speech, Make Poverty History campaign, Trafalgar Square, London: "Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man-made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings. And overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. It is the protection of a fundamental human right, the right to dignity and a decent life. While poverty persists, there is no true freedom." https://web.archive.org/web/20210923215947/http://db.nelsonmandela.org/speeches/pub_view.asp?pg=item&ItemID=NMS760&txtstr=SLAVERY

My primary school opened its assembly hall on the Saturday so we could go in and watch #LiveAid on a big screen!

20 years later I was in Edinburgh for #MakePovertyHistory & #Live8 at Murrayfield where James Brown headlined.

Ta for the memories Midge Ure!

The #singletax of #henrygeorge will liberate us! Don't tax more, Rachel! Tax smarter, Keir! @libdems.org.uk

#abolishtaxes on production, work and trade entirely. #sharetherents of land, locations and monopolies.

Been a long time since I wore this. Almost 20 yrs. Wore it through 2 yrs of U2 Vertigo tour and it was the catalyst for me starting my @comfortdollproject.bsky.social charity. Feel like it’s needed again right now. #onecampaign #makepovertyhistory

#abolishtaxes that penalise labour, production and trade
#sharetherents collect instead all the economic rents of land and nature we don't individually create or are entitled to.

Rachel Reeves has one chance at survival – and it involves your house If the housing market stays strong, the economy won't collapse

Too bad for her then that 2026 is the end of the 18 year land cycle: inews.co.uk/opinion/rach...

Picture of a sunset. Text overlaid reads: "As long as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in the world, none of us can truly rest." Nelson Mandela

Single tax movement poster - "The Tax System of Today binds the people. The single tax will unbind by breaking the land monopoly.

Of course the "system is broken" - it's a feature not a bug of the way things have worked for more or less as long as there have been governments. Here's how to fix it - as explained 150 years ago:

#MakePovertyHistory Good luck.

Es wird nicht teurer, weil viele Menschen ein bisschen mehr Lohn haben wollen.
Es wird teurer, weil wenige Menschen immer mehr Rendite, Dividende und Boni haben wollen.
