#wealthtax — Public Fediverse posts

I think it would be better to tie it to a multiple of the minimum wage e.g ~3 or something like that. Then people would find it worth running for and they would be incentivised to increase the minimum wage.

But the problem isn't really their pay, IMO, it's what they can do with it. They can buy up shit, invest in companies they collude with to increase their yield, and basically build up their wealth. A #WealthTax would make it much more difficult to do so. They'd have to spend the money and re-inject it into the economy instead of hoarding it like a bunch of geriatric dragons.

Billionaire money at work. Tax their wealth, then they can't buy up propaganda machines to influence the population. Wherever you are, vote for a #WealthTax or #TaxWealthNotWork . If you don't, they will only keep amassing wealth and power that leads to results like these.

The GOP thinks it has a messaging problem 🤣

What it really has is a solutions problem for ordinary Americans. They have no solutions for affordable #healthcare, #housing, #StudentDebt

Trickle down has failed, the #2026MidTermElection consequences are inevitable. No amount of lipstick application will make the #BigBeautifulBill look anything different than the pig it is - a giveaway for #billionaires

Вот перевод моего ответа на английский:
This is an **economics-themed meme**, which *claims* that Norway’s wealth-tax increase caused a net loss in government revenue.
**What exactly is shown?**
**The text:**
It states that:
Norway raised its wealth tax;
it expected to collect +$146M;
but allegedly lost $448M because $54B in wealth left the country;
resulting in a total reduction of $594M in tax revenue.
**The chart:**
It’s the *Laffer Curve* — a popular but debated economic concept suggesting that if tax rates are too high, government revenue eventually falls due to capital flight, tax avoidance, lower activity, etc.
**Important to understand:**
This is **not an official report** and **not a scientific chart**, but a social-media-style visualization making a claim.
Many such images are **politicized memes**: they use selective data or interpret it in a convenient way.
The Laffer Curve is a **theoretical model**, not a universal law.
If you want, I can:
— fact-check the specific numbers;
— explain the context of Norway’s wealth tax;
— show where the argument in this picture is manipulative.
