  1. It's not rocket science to solve the funding of Social Security. Just greed, the #GOP, and billionaires, who resist paying their fair share, who are sabotaging it!
    "If all income in excess of $400,000 were subject to the Social Security payroll tax, Social Security’s solvency would be guaranteed forever." Thank you for saying this out loud, @rbreich.
    Btw. why have a cap at all? We could lower the age or expand coverage, if everyone paid their #FairShare #SuperTaxTheSuperRich

  2. Höttges beendet Fair-Share: Telekom fordert keine Zahlungen mehr von US-Hyperscalern — trotz gewonnenem Prozess gegen Meta (30 Mio. €). Europas Netz finanziert Amerika, berichtet #golem. „Wir müssen dann eben sehen, wo wir die Kosten, die wir hier haben, anderweitig kompensieren können", so Höttges — dreimal dürfen wir raten, wer dafür zahlt #Telekom #FairShare #Digitalpolitik - golem.de/news/fair-share-hoett

  3. Finally, some good news from the ATO and Treasurer Chalmers: foreign investors who’ve been dodging their fair share on massive capital gains from Australian land, infrastructure and energy assets are about to pay up — with changes backdated to 2006 to override court loopholes that let companies like Newmont and YTL walk away with hundreds of millions untaxed.
    No more letting overseas billionaires and corporations profit off our resources while Australian workers and families foot the bill for hospitals, schools and infrastructure.
    Multinationals have had it too good for too long. Time they contributed properly.

  4. New Australia Institute research shows that the Japanese Government makes more revenue taxing its imports of Australian gas than the Australian Government makes from the export of our gas.
    Not only has Australia been literally giving more than half of the gas we export away for free, we now learn that the same Japanese Government that is opposed to us putting a tax on our gas and coal exports, has been raking in billions of dollars per year via their own tax on gas and coal imports.

  5. Former Treasury boss Ken Henry couldn’t be clearer: just tax the gas giants.
    These are public resources, yet the profits are privatised while Australians pay more for energy. The only way the country benefits is through fair taxation.
    Ignore the self serving spin and tax windfall profits properly. It’s not radical, it’s common sense.

  6. Gas companies are pulling in massive profits while Australians are stuck with soaring energy bills. A 25% export tax is hardly radical. These resources belong to the public, not just overseas shareholders.
    That revenue could go straight into cost of living relief, renewables, and a more balanced energy system. The “sovereign risk” line is tired. They’ve benefited from generous settings for years.
    Time for Labor to turn this inquiry into something that actually delivers.

  7. Finally, someone’s making foreign investors pay their fair share on Australian land and resources. Chalmers’ move to close loopholes in the 30% CGT on property-related assets — even retrospectively — is spot on. Our mining, energy & infrastructure belong to Australians first, not overseas profiteers gaming the system. Tax certainty is nice, but so is stopping billions in untaxed gains leaving the country. Good on him for standing firm.

  8. ACOSS just dropped the mic on gas giants: time for a proper 25% levy on exports, not some weak temporary windfall tax. These multinationals have been getting our gas basically for free, raking in $100b+ windfall profits from global crises while Aussies cop skyrocketing fuel bills, a housing emergency, and shredded social supports.
    $17b a year could actually fund energy rebates, proper income support, housing, health, and renewables — instead of subsidising fossil fuel exec bonuses. Even One Nation and some Libs are open to it. The Albanese government should listen to ACOSS, the unions, the Greens, and the overwhelming majority of Australians. Tax the gas barons, help people doing it toughest. No more free ride for foreign multinationals on our resources.

  9. I seek Native American / American Indian input on a personal project and set of social campaigns that aim to resolve the political-philosophical tensions of and paralogical gaps within and between several projects of my own --- projects that, I hope, lend credibility to a tentative campaign of my own for local, state, and federal offices over the course of the next thirty years. If you, or someone(s) you know are Native American, indigenous to North America, or an American "Indian", please reach out and/or direct those persons to me. I seek to honor personal and cultural autonomy while practicing the principles of plurality and inclusion: our diversity _is_ our equity.

  10. We are one of the world’s biggest gas exporters, yet the federal government collects more from taxing beer drinkers than from the Petroleum Resource Rent Tax on offshore gas. Ordinary Australians pay more for a slab than multinationals pay for extracting our shared resources. If that is not a broken system, what is? Time for a proper inquiry and a fair return to the public.

    Amazon just saved nearly $8B on its 2025 tax bill -- despite profits hitting $90B -- thanks to Trump's Big Ugly Bill.

    Remember: Amazon spent $75M producing and marketing the Melania movie, while Jeff Bezos gave $1M to Trump's inaugural fund.

    Quite a return on investment, huh?

  12. Wenn der Kanzler über die Faulen und Bequemen wettert, dann meint er sicher all diejenigen, die von ihren Kapitalerträgen leben… 🤔

  13. For decades now, the traditional telcos keep trying to find ways to get newer companies to pay them... whether it is dressed up as " #FairShare " or #NetworkFees or "dispute resolution" or whatever... in the end they are flawed ideas that are solutions trying to find problems (that don't exist).

  16. Vodafone will stop #peering in Europe. Apparently it will remove itself from all IXPs, halt private peering and move all that traffic to Inter.Link, a german firm. I can't really understand why it does. A write-up at www.linkedin.com/feed/update/... #netneutrality #fairshare #DeNOG #UKNOF #IXP
