    Senator #Whitehouse of #RI is brilliant.
    (Too bad that his proposal for a #WindfallProfitTax--in particular for #BigOil--did not become law.)

    I have written a short 🧡 on #BigOilKnew, but seeing and hearing it is even more damning.

    "#Biden throws down 2024 gauntlet w/ populist #budget...
    protecting free health care for the #elderly, while taxing wealthy Americans to help...cut the ballooning federal #deficit by $3 tr. over the next decade...raising #taxes on the wealthy + corporations..."

    wealthy = earning more than $400k p.a.

    While laudable, #IncomeTax won’t solve the growing devide: #InheritanceTax,
    #WealthTax,
    #WindfallProfitTax are required.

    ...
    A #WindfallProfitTax / #ExcessProfitTax / #WindfallTax has been introduced in several countries, including #Britain.

    Cheap #PublicTransport would have a asymmetrically benefitial impact on low-income households. They would lower inner-city rents, as much more workers would be able to live in more distant suburbs (like in #SanFrancisco and #NYC).
    The wealth of big home real-estate owners would be adversely affected, as prices would drop there...

    ...the #food and #energy sectors).

    As trickle-down clearly could never work, it is high time to finally level the playing field for the people.

    A #WealthTax, a steep #CarbonTax, in particular for private trips to space, and an #ExcessProfitsTax / #WindfallProfitTax / #WindfallTax of at least 50% would go a long way to pay for a state-of-the-art #PublicTransport and #HealthSystem...

  8. Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau rejected a #WindfallProfitTax as β€œtoo simplistic”.

    But somehow jacking up #InterestRates is not?

    This is pure corporate talking point.

  9. Childcare package is good from Labour, but it’s not the game changer required.

    Tax-free threshold up to $15k is.

    So is changing top tax brackets + introducing a Windfall Profit Tax profit on energy co’s/banks/supermarkets etc. Both measures would help fund a tax-free threshold.

    Use the 2020 mandate and unprecedented majority for truly bold action, or lose in 2023.
