Borrowed from @MostlyHarmless to add alt text❤️. Poverty is super time consuming. So much time is stolen for those of us under the poverty line.

8) We need an #ExtremeWealthLine if we are to lift more people above the #PovertyLine
If we believe #SocialMobility is good then a #WealthTax becomes a necessity
If we believe our #Politics is increasingly been bought by the #UltraWealthy then failure to address gross #inequality will lead to a decline in western #democracy

While even the author of the original article does not feel that $140k is literally the new poverty line, his piece has prompted important conversations about "benefit cliffs" and what level of income is actually required for a family to cover the basics *without outside assistance.*

The new wage lifts two-thirds of the workforce above Mexico’s family #povertyline, & above Mexico’s #minimumwage of about $1.71 per hour. A proposed nationwide shift to a 40-hour workweek without a reduction in pay (Mexico’s workweek is currently capped at 48 hours) would also mark a significant advance.

Raising Jobseeker to $80 per day—in line with the Raise the Rate campaign—and indexing it to keep up with wages would cost $9.5 billion per year.
This a fraction of the cost of superannuation tax concessions ($50 billion per year) or the Capital Gains Tax discount ($15 billion), both of which mainly benefit the richest Australians.

“Our world, in which the top 1% own more than the 95% combined, in which we’re on course for five trillionaires within a decade, is not on course to end #poverty soon, nor to meet the scale of the #climatecrisis”.
The number of people living under the $6.85 #povertyline today is in fact close to what it was in 1990, he said.

A reddit post i’ve stumbled across today - from the male of a 26yr old American couple.
They’ve had to make a heart wrenching decision give up their child for adoption, because today’s economy and the lack of government support for those doing it touch mean they can’t survive and provide for their child even on the bare minimum.
I hate to think how many Aussies might find themselves considering such an awful choice.

Ok folks.... I'm going to try to create two hashtags.
The #PovertyLine is obvious to everyone. Nobody should fall below the poverty line!
The #WealthLine is the new concept we must push everywhere in media, politics, economics, etc. Nobody should be allowed above the wealth line, Nobody. And, if you're afraid of the #WealthLine , then you're selfish and not really interested in a more equitable and sustainable world.
Let's push this concept, folks. Especially, let's push it on our politicians!
