"I think the Green Party in Britain has adopted your wealth tax policy. But the centre-left Labour Party is not going to do that, are they."
#GuyonEspiner, 2025
I don't want to pick on Guyon, but this is a classic example of news media defining 'centre-left' as 'whatever the largest liberal party says at any given time'. You'd think the NZ Labour of the 1980s would have showed them that's not a meaningful way to define it.

British economist and former Citi trader Gary Stevenson warns that Australia is losing its "fair go" ethos due to a worsening housing crisis and widening wealth gap. During an Australian speaking tour, he told the ABC that governments worldwide are failing to seriously tackle inequality. Stevenson advocates for higher wages, improved housing affordability, and tax reforms that take more from the wealthy to boost living standards for low and middle-income households. He warns that without action, Australia will face the same decline in public services and rise in poverty seen in the UK and Europe. Despite his large YouTube following, Political leaders, trapped in "bubbles," are resistant to changing the economic status quo.

”A lot of young men don’t feel wanted or welcome on the left, and a big part of the reason is that it’s true.”
-Gary StevensonI think he’s absolutely right. The left likes to blame everyone on the left for not being left enough. This is not a new phenomenon. 🙂

Finished #GaryStevenson 's book 'The Trading Game' the other day.
It is very good, quite entertaining and very sweary.
Ideal if you want a more detailed backstory to the trader turned wealth inequality crusader. #Bookstodon
Now I'm onto Hugh Howey's Silo trilogy. I may be some time...

IMHO, the party has to stop emphasising photo ops and get out there and TALK to a wider cross section of people.
Take notes from Zohran Mamdani, interact with people.
The Greens are in parliament! They need to be as strong, forward and with a 'take no bullshit' manner like Stephen Flynn (SNP)
And there can be NO COMPROMISES on #LGBTQIAplusRights. That includes #TransRights 🏳️⚧️.
We need to visibly see more #POCs, #queers, #immigrants in the Green Party.
We need to get people like #GaryStevenson , an #economist who grew up #workingclass, is well known to the public and tells it line it is.

Justifications people meke for wealth inequality.
1. The Laffer curve.
- treated like it's a principal rarther than a illustration of an oversimplified idea. To quote the Wikipedia article "Graphical representations of the curve sometimes appear to put the rate at around 50%, if the tax base reacts to the tax rate linearly, but the revenue-maximizing rate could theoretically be any percentage greater than 0% and less than 100%."

- Watch Economist Gary Stevenson laugh at the absurdity of the laffer curve here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Up5tpxshHfQ&t=1149
