  2. Navigating the Void: Why Nigeria Needs a Corporate Deferred Prosecution Agreement (DPA) Framework

    In a standard DPA regime, a company that self-reports and cooperates can avoid the "corporate death penalty" of a criminal conviction. In Nigeria, we are currently forced to rely on the Administration of Criminal Justice Act (ACJA) 2015. While the ACJA provides for Plea Bargaining, it is a fundamentally different animal from a DPA:

  3. "Downtowns and modest old neighborhoods often subsidize sprawling, wealthy #suburbs that don't come close to covering their own costs. In many cases, the poor #subsidize the rich, and it's by design. This video examines how we got here, why the bill is now coming due." US analysis, but it's here in #yeg too. Thanks for the lead, @michaeljanz.bsky.social

    So, billionaires can charge people according to what they're able to pay for a propaganda newspaper, but the tax code can't do the same to billionaires?

  5. The trucking industry is on the brink — gutted by Driver Inc., cowardly enforcement, and race-to-the-bottom practices.

    If we don’t fix this now, we risk losing the backbone of our economy. 📦🇨🇦

  6. Funny how much noise there is about the new super tax for balances over $3 million. Less than half a percent of Aussies will ever be affected, yet it’s all over the news like it impacts everyone.
    All that’s changing is the concessional tax treatment for those with more than $3 million in super-an amount most Australians won’t ever see in their accounts. You’d think the whole super system was being torn down!
    Meanwhile, policies that could actually help everyday Aussies barely get a mention. Makes you wonder whose interests are really being represented in these debates.
    Super was set up to give all Australians a fair go in retirement, not to be a tax shelter for the ultra-wealthy. Maybe the outrage should match the number of people actually affected?

  9. The federal government plans to double the tax on superannuation balances over $3 million, increasing it from 15% to 30%. Although set to start on 1 July this year, it’s not yet law. This change aims to create a fairer superannuation system. Currently, the wealthiest 10% are set to receive over $20 billion in super tax concessions this financial year.

  10. Brian Allen: "Congressman Buddy Carter just dropped a bill to abolish the IRS and nuke income, payroll taxes, estate taxes, and gift taxes. Translation: a billionaire free-for-all, while the rest of us scramble to fund schools, roads, and hospitals. Who knew ‘tax reform’ was code for ‘let the rich run wild’?" #TaxFairness

  11. Britain and the US share a deep-rooted individualism, where 'I earned it, so it’s mine' clashes with the collective good. Until we reframe wealth redistribution as solidarity, not punishment, progress will remain elusive. #TaxFairness #SocialJustice

  13. Rachel Reeves says Tories ‘lied about public finances.’ To fix the £22bn hole, we need to tax capital gains, passive income, the rich, and highly profitable companies way more. #FiscalReform #TaxFairness #WealthGap #FairTax #EconomicJustice #WealthTax buff.ly/3StiSso

  14. #WesternAustralia is swimming in gas, but the industry's pushing fears of a shortage to jack up prices. 🛢️💰 #Multinational #oil and #gas giants rake in billions from WA's resources, paying zero in royalties and peanuts in taxes while we foot the bill. 🤔 #GasGreed #TaxFairness #auspol #greed

  15. How Much Does the Millionaire Tax Improve Tax Fairness? How Does Massachusetts Compare Now to Other States? - Mass. Budget and Policy Center

    massbudget.org/2024/01/09/fsa-

    > Together, the millionaire surtax and the progressive elements of the 2023 tax package help make Massachusetts one of the least regressive states, tax-wise, in the US. Low- and middle-income households typically pay a smaller share of income toward taxes in Massachusetts than in most other states.

  16. Big money activism must be dealt with. No one in a decent society should be allowed to use their obscene wealth to change society based on their whims.

    We need to go back to the tax structure pre-Reagan to stop billionaires from having so much disposable income.
