  1. "The (mean) average is pulled up by a rich minority. The median (average) is the person in the exact middle. When the two disagree sharply, wealth is concentrated at the top."

    "Norway, Australia and Denmark barely move between the two measures, a sign their wealth is spread relatively evenly. The countries that tumble are the ones where a wealthy sliver holds a disproportionate share."

    It's anything but tax the rich, isn't it?

    Pensioners now, that'll always go down well with the voters, won't it?

    Labour would rather be a one term government than tax the rich, it's blatant.

  16. With 66% in a recent #NZPol poll supporting the #NZGreens #WealthTax policy I'm only surprised they're not polling higher but still, currently polling at 16% tells you people are waking up - expect more. 💚 💚

  21. #NZGreens are campaigning for the upcoming election on introducing a wealth tax of 2.5 percent on assets above $10 million (excluding family homes).

    With a recent #NZPol poll on party’s tax policies 64 percent of respondents say they support the #Greens #WealthTax policy.

    If NZers actually vote on introducing a wealth tax that will not only help fund health, education, infrastructure and the many other government programs that are struggling with underfunding but also provide tax relief for 96% of NZ taxpayers then might #Aotearoa #NewZealand see a majority #NZGreens govt be elected in 2026?

  26. Report: Nobel Prize-Winning Economists Back Billionaire Tax in California

    Economist Joseph Stiglitz said that "a one-time 5% tax on billionaire residents of California could kickstart wealth distribution in the US & across the world."

    During the 2000 federal election cycle, billionaire political donations made up only 1% of the total - compared to 19% by 2024.

    The triple lock applies only to state pensions. There is every reason to protect the purchasing power of that paltry minimum income from any/all threats (IMO, more jobs should also have protections).

    If private pension pots are growing larger and improving the overall "average" pensioner lifestyle, we should exclusively be looking at #WealthTax or other progressive taxation.

    I see no reason to weaken the safety net because some people don't need it.

  44. The Linke is very present on social media too. I remember watching Deutsche Welle English and they compared the number of accounts and number of followers for each party in the German parliament and The Linke was not that far behind AfD. The problem is that the platforms they are on are owned by uberwealthy, right-wing billionaires.

    We need a #WealthTax and for more people on the fediverse where companies don't control the algorithms and surface right-wing stuff all the time.
