Sweden, a ‘paradise’ for the ultra-rich, debates a billionaire tax ahead of elections.
Regarded as one of the most egalitarian countries in the world, the number of billionaires in Sweden has continued to rise while poverty has increased.
Ahead of the 13 September elections, taxing the wealthiest has become a major campaign issue.

Oh good. Even more centralisation. Just what the most overcentralised wee country (that's actually a medium sized country but thinks it looks cuter if it pretends to be small) urgently needs.
Not #ClimateAction; not #ScottishIndependence; not #LandReform; not #WealthTax; not #LocalDemocracy. Nope, none of that. Just mash all the health boards into just two, and everything will be sorted.
Remind me, why did we vote for these clowns?

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

"The Case for California’s Billionaire Wealth Tax", today’s NYT Op-Ed from Gabriel Zucman and Emmanuel Saez: https://web.archive.org/web/20260526122143/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/05/26/opinion/wealth-tax-california-billionaire.html
The iceberg images are especially striking. 78% of Zuckerberg's, Page's, Brin's, Huang's wealth accumulation is “underwater” .

I saw a meme post on Facebook suggesting that no one earns a billion dollars except by wage theft, that no one works a billion times harder than other hardworking people who make ordinary wages. That seems a fair claim. I wrote this next paragraph in response, kind of as a spur of the moment thought, but it's something I want to spend more time thinking about:
I used to think that one solution to this was the practice of asking CEOs to not make more than some fixed multiple of their lowest-paid employee. But now I see the goal is to not employ anyone either. A lot of the benefits for corporations are justified on the idea that they employ people, so helping them helps people. Now that this assumption is on a path to being increasingly violated, we need to reconsider our special treatment of corporations as well.

"Over half of the money hoarded in #Canada’s private foundations should have been paid as taxes. Instead, it’s being funneled to wealthy institutions and organizations complicit in #Israel’s military occupation." https://breachmedia.ca/canada-super-rich-private-foundations-to-funnel-huge-public-sums-to-elite-universities-and-israel/

Nearly 400 millionaires and billionaires worldwide—including Australians Dick Smith, Graham Marr, and Richard Barnes—have signed an open letter urging governments to tax extreme wealth more heavily. Ahead of Davos, they argue that concentrated wealth undermines democracy, deepens inequality, and worsens the climate crisis.
In Australia, the 48 billionaires hold more wealth than the bottom 40% (~11 million people). Proposals include a 5% wealth tax (potentially raising $17 billion/year for childcare, housing, and healthcare), higher taxes on the top 1%, tighter capital gains rules, and an inheritance tax.
Treasurer Jim Chalmers is open to capital gains adjustments but has ruled out inheritance tax for now. These voices from the ultra-wealthy strengthen the case for mandatory, systemic progressive reform to ensure fair contribution and fund essential public goods.

Norway attempts to plug the fiscal hole with a wealth tax only to discover that rich folks are masters of hide and seek. 🤡💸 In a slapstick game of financial peek-a-boo, billions vanish faster than you can say "tax haven." 🤔🏃♂️
