"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much it is whether we provide enough for those who have little."

Franklin D. Roosevelt

In a nation where 66 millionaires paid zero tax, the real scandal isn't just their avoidance, it's the system that enables it. The laws and loopholes that protect the wealthy while everyday Australians foot the bill must be challenged.
While everyday citizens work hard to keep our nation moving, the rich exploit legal grey areas, benefiting from perks like negative gearing and franking credits. When the rules favour the wealthy over the public interest, it's a direct attack on fairness.
These investment incentives, originally meant to stimulate growth, have morphed into tools that deepen the gap between the haves and have-nots. Our society deserves a tax system that funds essential services without rewarding greed.
The rising wealth gap is no accident—it's engineered by policies that let millionaires dodge their fair share. It’s time to reimagine a system where the affluent contribute their due to support our schools, hospitals, and infrastructure.

The Resolution Foundation finds huge wealth gaps in the UK. Raising wealth taxes and taxing capital gains, passive income, the rich, and profitable companies way more could fill the £20bn shortfall left by the Tories. #EconomicEquality #TaxJustice https://www.theguardian.com/politics/article/2024/jul/28/wealth-taxes-britain-10bn-tory-budget-hole-economists
