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.

A Plan for Equality & Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries
A habitable world is possible"The Global Justice Report is part of a broader international agenda for planetary habitability, social justice, and reform of the global financial architecture."
"The Global Justice Project attempts to set out a new vision for global progress in the 21st century: grounding human development and equality in planetary habitability. It explores the conditions under which the world could move toward this horizon and traces an economically and ecologically consistent transition path from 2026 to 2100." >>
https://globaljusticeproject.wid.world/Summary: The Global Justice Report
A Plan for Equality & Prosperity Within Planetary Boundaries
"It is possible to reconcile planetary habitability and high well-being for all, but only if the transformation rests on three pillars simultaneously. Fast decarbonization of energy systems is necessary. But we also need a major shift toward sufficiency – understood as a sharp reduction in labour hours and material footprint and large changes in consumption patterns, food habits, land use, and forest cover. In addition, neither decarbonization nor sufficiency can be financed and politically sustained without a drastic reduction in inequality of income, wealth and power, both between countries and within them. The compression of global inequality is not only compatible with deep decarbonization; it is a necessary condition for shared prosperity on a finite planet." >>

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.

#BernieSanders to Rally for #BillionaireTax in #California as #Crypto Industry Joins Newsom in Opposition
“While US billionaires became $1.5 trillion richer last year, the average worker in America has just $955 in retirement savings,” said Sen. Bernie Sanders. “That’s why I’ll be in LA this week fighting for a #WealthTax on #billionaires.”
Jake Johnson
Feb 18, 2026Excerpt: "The proposal has also drawn opposition from Democratic California Gov. #GavinNewsom, who has close ties to #SiliconValley elites—some of the most vocal opponents of the state wealth tax plan. (Notably, the billionaire CEO of the most valuable company in the world, #Nvidia, said earlier this year that he is 'perfectly fine' with the proposal as others in his class pumped millions into the effort to defeat it.)"

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.
