  2. ‘We got lazy and complacent’: Swedish pensioners explain how abolishing the wealth tax changed their country.

    For some Swedes, the question isn’t simply whether a wealth tax works, but what kind of society has been lost with its abolition.

    Sweden’s gini coefficient, the most common way to measure inequality, has reached 0.3 in recent years, up from around 0.2 in the 1980s.

    ...the higher the #GiniCoefficient in a society, the larger the risk for #CivilWar.

    If I. remember it correctly, the #CivilWar risk for the #US has more than doubled in recent decades, small wonder, regarding the proliferation ofmilluonaires and billionaires in that period.

  28. George Monbiot has seen it all, or most of it. His research is thorough; his conclusions are sound. Why aren't we listening?

    "The one thing that can stop the rise of the far right is the one thing mainstream parties are currently not prepared to deliver: greater equality. The rich should be taxed more, and the revenue used to improve the lives of the poor. However frantically centrist parties avoid the issue, there is no other way."

    It tells a disastrous story.
    The #GiniCoefficient must be really bad now.

    I saw a small table here on the WE by how much Musk, Zuckerberg, etc. had gotten richer since 2010, which why I asked.
    The CAGR implied was mind blowing.

    This is why I say, #AbolishTheBillionaires.

    Maybe it would need to be: no group of people related to a 3rd degree may have accumulated wealth of more than 1 bn (probably still too much.)

    When people like Musk...
