Verschil tussen rijk en arm in Nederland wordt alleen maar groter
https://nos.nl/l/2613287
“De verschillen tussen rijke en minder rijke mensen in Nederland blijven steeds groter worden en het belastingstelsel vermindert deze ontwikkeling niet. Soms leidt het er zelfs toe dat de verschillen groter worden. Die waarschuwing geeft het Centraal Planbureau (CPB) aan de regering.”

⬆️ @atrupar >>>> #Trump on Tim Cook and other CEOs traveling to meet with him: "In the first term, everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend."
@GottaLaff >> Everyone is scared shitless, a coward, and/or greedier than last time.
Watch how quickly #progressiveTaxation becomes a reality in #Trump world.
People & corps will pay a "tax" to trump (not to #IRS) depending on their ability to pay. The richer will pay MORE than the less fortunate, but US Govt won't get any

⬆️ >> Fair #progressiveTaxation is what's missing. 4+ decades of #Reagan #TrickleDown economic policies is what brought us here. Problem is not #Capitalism but unbridled #laissezFaire. Govt is not optional.
Because assumptions of perfect competition do not hold in real world, govt is not optional. Corrective action is needed to bring fairness.

@nealcurtis #thankYou
These is some good definitions, I just added some tags so we can find this again.#Neoliberalism was the means by which the rich dismantled the consensus around #socialDemocracy, #progressiveTaxation, #welfare and #publicServices in order to amass wealth and material inequality similar to the time of absolute monarchs.
#Fascism is the chosen means by which they secure and preserve those gains.

#Vienna’s successful #SocialHousing model prioritizes human needs over profits, with tenant protections, #ProgressiveTaxation & strong regulations. Half of city's residents live in subsidized #housing, creating affordable competition.
In the US, the private market often fails low-income renters, with #homelessness & housing insecurity widespread.
The argument that deregulated markets will solve the issue is flawed, as millions can't afford market-rate housing.

#Fortunes result from various factors unrelated to talent.
Furthermore, fortunes distort the allocation of talent in society, as exceptionall young individuals that could be contributing to climate change or healthcare instead serve the wealthy elite.
A mass movement for wealth distribution is needed to address this #inequality. Good examples are #ProgressiveTaxation policies and taxing corporate income based on shareholder returns.
