The money raised by taxing billionaires out of existence will do more than help with the budget. Taking their money would make it impossible for billionaires to buy governments and write budgets to benefit themselves.

“We should end the ‘tax-free lifestyle loan,’ the gimmick that lets the ultra-wealthy borrow against their stock portfolios while reporting no taxable income.”

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?

Macro Matters: Can billionaire taxes fix Europe’s budget?
Fiscally hawkish EU countries are pushing for a smaller seven-year budget, prompting debate over taxing billionaires to fill the gap, with Nomura's George Buckley saying taxes must rise sharply to make a real difference. #News #Reuters #Newsfeed #EUBudget #GeorgeBuckley #Nomura #BillionaireTax #Brussels #EuropeanUnion #EUElections #FiscalPolicy #WealthTax #EuropeNews #BusinessNews #WorldNews #BreakingNews…

I think that shift is starting to take place. A dawning realization that the first incarnation of #SocialMedia in all its enshitified “glory” has hurt our children, violated our privacy, destroyed our social fabric, and degraded our democracy
What for? Simply the enrichment of a few #billionaires
There is a massive opportunity

"Despite an $18 billion settlement to end a nationwide child endangerment lawsuit, the firm clearly no longer sees social media as its main product—or its future."

I am counting on #Burnham to raise taxes on corporations and the wealthy.
We can see the money piling up, it is time for progressive taxation so we can get basic government services back.
Ideally, there should be a #WealthTax because the rich don't do income.

Espriella favors “flexible” labor (subordinate to capital) and “productive” environmental regulation (pro-growth), repealled the #wealthtax & plans a budget cut of at least 20 trillion Colombian pesos/six billion U.S. dollars, a halt to almost all government spending to implement. In short, the #DOGE plan.
What could go wrong?

The #broligarchy is upset with @gilduran which makes his new book 📕 a must read
#SiliconValley is pro free speech provided it does NOT encompass critique of the bros special status in the world and #billionaires right to undermine democracy and further accumulation of wealth at the expense of us #NPC types.
#Facism anyone?

And there it is, the best argument for a #WealthTax.

#sergeybrin is paying the cost of an airbus 320 (100mil) to avoid paying 120% of the Los Angeles Lakers (12.5bil).
#billionaires scale breaks our brains. 100 million usd is a colossal amount. But 15 billion usd is what he’d owe, which is more than the worth of one of the most recognizable sports franchises in the history of the world.
And it’s a one time 5% tax. 5%. And that’s just one dude walking around. Shitting. Pissing. Bleeding. One guy.
Broken.

Sergey Brin should perhaps worry less about paying taxes and giving up some political power, and worry more about being able to live in peace anywhere on this planet.

That's the ad campaign right there.
"A single billionaire spent $100 million to block a #WealthTax . Imagine how many hospital staff, teachers and parks the tax could pay for.
Vote 'YES' for the #CABillionaireTax "
-
Wealth tax for 1 billion dollars:
5% = 10 million
10% = 100 millionBillionaires would recoup than in no time which is why it can’t be 5% nor a one time tax. It needs to be higher and more frequent. Billionaires shouldn’t exist and are a parasite class.
Simps you have more in common with the homeless than you do with these people. You will never become a billionaire so stop defending them.

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." >>

Jeremy Lent: Ecocivilization"Lent’s goal is to synthesize dozens of proven and promising genres of existing projects and real-world activism. Some of these are daring and paradigm-breaking. Others operate well within the dominant market/state system but offer credible possibilities for post-capitalist transitions."

Gary with a really concise segment on wealth tax:
https://youtube.com/shorts/V2M0_T-l2LE?si=H-mWbRbu1YDTFUXR
It really does seem like one fundamental choice: As per Gary, either people with wealth and power taking all the rest from the less powerful, or (if these are the words) democratizing power/wealth via the right taxes.
(And will Labour finally listen and save the UK... I feel like Starmer maybe has a moment of opportunity here.)

My local mla/mp #WayneLong stirring up the honeypot:
https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/wayne-long-trudeau-resignation-1.7250241
I totally agree that we need change, but I'll bet Wayne and I differ on who we see succeeding. To my knowledge there does not exist a member of the #liberals who:
- will give the #LANDBACK
- will stand for #palestine
- will stand against #israel
- will stand against #privateHealthcare
- will stand against #OilAndGas
- will stand against #bigTech
- will stand against #bigPharma
- will stand against #banks
- will stand against #corporateExploitation
- will reform elections #PR
- will pursue 90% #wealthTax
- will bust #monopolies
- will aggressively #decarbonise
- will immediately implement #ubi #universalBasicIncome
- will tie #minWage to #costOfLivingIndex
- will immediately fund #greenEnergy
- will create #nationalHighSpeedRail
- will reform and fund #healthCare
- will include **all** #healthServices as #healthCare
- will strongly support #unions
- will fund #coops and #nonprofit #housing
- will repair, upgrade and build #schools #cleanAir
- will stand with the #UN even if it involves Can/USA
- will support #degrowth
- isn't a racist, homophobe, transphobe, xenophobe, misogynist or other biggotUntil such a candidate exists, the next one will just be another #capitalist stooge.
