“The trouble with socialism,” said late British leader Margaret Thatcher, “is that eventually you run out of other people’s money.” Socialism also, one might add, can make the people with money run out.

"Good taxation has to attack this growing inequality. [...] it's about fairness, it's about democracy, but its also about economic growth."
Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz makes the case for #WealthTaxes at the recent EU Tax Symposium in Brussels.

People who oppose wealth taxes in Norway seem obsessed with Spotify. If only Norway cut wealth taxes, it too could have a Spotify. It's like they don't understand the difference between market cap and actual value creation.

Zack Polanski @zackpolanski.bsky.social and the #GreenParty are right: university should be free. It is beneficial for all of society to have citizens educated to a higher level. #WealthTaxes could help rebalance the economy towards education

What did Thomas Paine think about wealth taxes? Vanessa Williamson and Jeremy Bearer-Friend show that wealth taxes aren't a new idea—and one consistent with strands of discourse in the Revolutionary Era.

Our society should be implementing socio-economic goals geared to #wellbeing for all not more and more money for a privileged few.

The 50 richest billionaires produce more carbon pollution in 90 minutes than the average person does in a lifetime. No surprise then that Greens want #WealthTaxes and the redistribution of wealth and power. Go @zackpolanski.bsky.social !

Screenshot of an Exress story headline asserting that the Greens are a dangerous, communist party once just about trees and animals.
The Greens were never, ever, just about trees and animals. Redistribution of wealth on a big scale has always been there. Why? Social justice and ecological justice are inseparable. The rich and super-rich abusively exploit people and the environment. #wealthtaxes

Since Zack (& many others) seem unaware of them, here's a list of all the #Wealthtaxes so far applied by this Labour Government.
We can be 100% certain there will be more in the November Budget.

''It found that the top 400 wealthiest Americans had a total effective tax rate of 23.8 per cent of income in the years from 2018 to 2020, including individual income taxes, estate and gift taxes, and corporate taxes.'' #TaxTheRich #Taxes #WealthTaxes #Zucman #IncomeTaxes www.ft.com/content/43ab...

The election was dominated by the cost of living, #wealthtaxes, oil fund investment in #Israel & relations with #Trump.
On the right, there was a surge in support for Progress ( #MAGA).
Centre-left victory leaves #Norway an outlier from their neighbours, #rightwing governed Sweden & Finland.

Most of the Blue States could implement #WealthTaxes and cover most of this without federal intervention.
That would secure the next election more than simply trying to counter-cheat the next vote.
@governor.ca.gov is banking on panic and pathos, not really ethics and policy.

Instead of listening to Tax 'Experts' to the Obscenely Wealthy telling us " #wealthTaxes never work", look to countries where it DID work, study them, copy them & improve them:

Countries eg Spain, Switzerland successfully using #WealthTaxes to raise significant sums for generations. Economists say UK can overcome tax avoidance by the rich, using digital technology, studying countries with wealth taxes, & pioneering a progressive tax system “fit for the 21st century”.

"If a wealth tax in the UK took in similar percentages [to those raised by the same in Norway and Switzerland], it could raise between £20bn and £45bn."

Several 'tax experts' - ie, professionals who help the rich avoid as much tax as possible - have noted that #WealthTaxes around the world rarely work.
So HOPEFULLY Starmer will look at the systems that HAVE worked around the world.

Why won't #Labour impose #WealthTaxes (especially when #PatrioticMillionaires are literally crying out for it)? The only conclusion one can draw is that they don't want to piss off potential donors - I guess #disabled people haven't been forthcoming enough with the free specs and #TaylorSwift tix…

The Sunday Times Rich List was recently published💸📰
While the billionaire count is down, inequality remains gargantuan
This is why we support #wealthtaxes, a tax for the very rich, measured against the total value of assets, including land, property, stocks and savings 📈
