  2. Oops!
    The billionaires are getting tetchy again.
    They always do when somebody proposes a system in which they pay their fair share of taxes, or stopping them from taking us to the cleaners and rinsing us of every penny of disposable income that might improve our standard of living.

  3. The so called backlash to "tax wealth, not work" is either disingenuous or confused. They claim it won't work because it won't raise enough revenue but that's not the point of a wealth tax. The point is to reduce inequality. A wealth tax is a way forward in that direction.

  5. I just watched Gary Stevenson's documentary 'How to Get Filthy Rich'.
    A theme running through from the wealthy in it was that taxing assets will reduce their value. It won't. It will reduce the price and that's very different.
    An asset is something useful and its price doesn't change its function. A house, a company, land. An average 3 bedroom house has the same amenity value whether its worth $200,000 or $2,000,000. If you own it because you use it you won't care. If you own it speculate on its value then you will care (& you probably won't care so much about its function because you won't be living in it).
    I feel the same way when people attack 'degrowth' ideas. The idea of degrowth is not (IMO) to do less, its to consume less while doing just as much. Again, those who profit from consumption hate this but to the user they don't care as long as the thing they want done gets done.

  7. CW: Me angry at The Rest is Politics Leading's interview with Gabriel Zucman

    The more I hear him the more I wish Rory would piss off to his silent retreats forever. The guy is positively apoplectic at the start of this interview, not letting Gabriel speak and throwing ridiculous 'what ifs' at him. Privilege threatened mychly?
    He's the same with anyone who wants to talk about anything pragmatic about climate change. He's a grade A imbecile from posh stock.

  9. I love watching Zack Polanski in interviews, because I'm constantly shouting "YES!" at the screen. His point that wealth taxes aren't about raising revenue but about redistribution of that wealth is bang-on.

    Nährboden ist Unzufriedenheit, Ausbeutung, Ungleichbehandlung, Ungerechtigkeit, Ausgrenzung, Hierarchien, Hass, Hetze, einfache Scheinlösungen, Spaltung, Angstmacherei....

    Dagegen hilft finanzielle Unterstützung, moderne Bildung (nicht das einüben einer Herrschaftsstruktur), Gemeinschaft, Solidarität, Vielfalt, Empathie, Konsensfindung, Mitsprache, Mitbestimmung...

  13. Community is everything. Human relations are everything. People coming together to help other people, especially those outside their own community, thus broadening the community, is everything.

    Das ist natürlich ein Trick, um sagen zu können: "Die SPD lässt den Spitzensteuersatz unverändert und erhöhen die Reichensteuer".

    Das ist juristisch korrekt, mit dem Sternchen, dass der Spitzensteuersatz, (wortlautwidrig) nicht der oberste Steuersatz der Einkommensteuer ist und, (irreführend) die "Reichensteuer" nicht das Vermögen betrifft sondern das Erwerbseinkommen. #taxwealthnotwork

  22. Achja: die Entlastung der „hart arbeitenden Mittelschicht“. Wird vermutlich irgendwie kommen. Irgendwie. Ich rechne mit einem Betrag der durch die Inflation längst kompensiert wurde ~500€ bei zvE 4.500 €.

    Der wichtigste Aktivposten der #Überreichen bleibt die SPD. Was wäre nur ohne sie? #taxwealthnotwork

    Achso: und der Bundestag wird wieder größer, weil die Wahlrechts-Reform der Ampel wieder zurückgenommen wird, die auf 630 MdBs gedrückt hatte, wieder zurückgenommen wird.
