  3. A tax deduction reduces taxable income, often due to expenses aimed at generating more income. Tax deductions, along with credits and exemptions, are forms of tax incentives. Deductions and exemptions lower taxable income, while credits reduce tax liability.

  4. What Billionaires Don't Want You to Know about Italy's Economy

    youtube.com/watch?v=dQMZR64G_eM

    Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives. In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP. We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy...

  5. How #billionaires took over #American #politics
    Concentration of #wealth among #richest is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics.
    Since 2000, political giving by wealthiest 100 Americans to federal elections has gone up 140 times, well outpacing growing costs of campaigns, a Washington Post analysis found. Roughly 1 in every 13 dollars spent in #election2024 was donated by a handful of country’s richest people.

  7. #Inflation quashed household #income gains in 2024, census finds
    
The #richest Americans’ income rose, & #women & #Black people lost ground, the data found.

    Most Americans’ household income remained steady last year, in part because inflation counteracted gains in income, the US Census Bureau said Tuesday.
    
But there were some notable exceptions: The richest 10% of households saw their income rise, & women & Black people lost ground, the census data shows.

  8. Positive cash flow provides freedom and reduces financial stress. When our company controls the asset, money continues to flow in. Cash flow or passive income is taxed less than capital gains from asset sales. True financial independence occurs when our assets make us cash flow.

  9. Mastering our financial statements is crucial for building true wealth and freedom. Without understanding it, people struggle in a debt-driven world. Money has become a form of currency rather than real money. We can invest like the government, which prints debt(money) to invest.

  10. Fifty of the #world’s #richest #billionaires on average produce more #carbon through their #investments, private #jets and #yachts in just over 90 minutes than the average person does in their entire #lifetime.

  11. #UK’s #richest set to produce 13 times more transport #emissions than #poorest by 2035 | #CarbonFootprints | The Guardian

  12. A quotation from Bernard Levin

       Almost all of us want to be richer than we are, even if we are very rich indeed. To be sure, there are exceptions; saints, ascetics, those who travel light and will not add even the weight of a wallet, a few whose material ambitions are fully satisfied and who therefore truly want nothing further. But the rest of us want more than we have, and the specially thoughtful sometimes wonder whether there could ever come a time when we didn’t.
       The crucial question, though, leaving out of consideration the exempted categories, is: what are we willing to do to increase our wealth?

    Bernard Levin (1928-2004) British journalist, critic, broadcaster, satirist

    "Homoploutic elite is composed of people who are simultaneously among the #richest #capitalists and best paid workers; that is resistant to shocks in labor and capital markets and thus able to maintain its position."

    These folks tend to be incrementalists when it comes to problems such as #climatechange which are urgent for the vast majority who are hurting/dying right now.

  14. We're not heading into a lethal #environmental #apocalypse because there's too many of us. We're all going to die because the #richest 10% of us cannot stop spewing #carbon into the #air as a #consequence of their own #entertainment and opulent #lifestyles.

  15. Even the #richest #Americans face shorter #lifespans than their #European counterparts, #study finds | A study by researchers at the Brown #University School of Public #Health found that Americans have poorer #survival rates than Europeans across all #wealth levels and detailed factors driving the disparity.

  18. [3:50] From the Arizona #AttorneyGeneral; grateful for her. "But today, Congress is nowhere to be found. #DonaldTrump has grabbed the power of #Congress & handed it to an #unelected #billionaire & a group of teenage #hackers. The #richest man in the world has run roughshod over the authority of #federal #agencies in #violation of the rule of law & the #Constitution." Imagine #Obama handing #GeorgeSoros keys to the same castle: their #hypocrisy was predictable. youtube.com/watch?v=jrE0DOEcbR

  19. Elon Musk is becoming a 1-man rogue state. Rime we reined him in

    #Musk is, more or less, a #RogueState

    His intentions are self-serving and #nefarious, and his nation-state level resources allow him to flout the law with impunity.

    He has:

    - Bankrolled #elections
    - Stoked #riots
    - Ignored laws

    We mustn’t make the mistake of playing nice with the world’s #richest #bully

    “I don’t have to answer questions from reporters,” #Musk told #DonLemon during the interview. “Don, the only reason I’m doing this #interview is because you’re on the #X #Twitter platform, and you asked for it. Otherwise, we’re not going to be doing this interview.”

    Afterward, Lemon learned the #deal was off via a text Musk sent to Lemon’s agent that read, “#Contract is canceled.”
