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.

When you combine this history of wage suppression and theft in the US over the last 50 years, combined with what is happening in the AI industry, labor in the US is in trouble. #stagflation #unemployment #capitalflight

"This is not the arrangement of a free society. This is the stuff of kings and feudal lords ruling over serfs. It is not befitting a democracy. And for a country so devoted to the principle of freedom and so proud of our history of rejecting illegitimate monarchical authority, we should be pissed off about it. Americans shouldn’t have to grovel pathetically before oligarchs to prevent them from nuking our economy as punishment for trying to attain an infinitesimal fraction of the privilege they enjoy — privileges which, of course, are already more lopsidedly distributed to the wealthy than ever.

If he wins the general election, Madani will have to proceed carefully, calling the wealthy’s bluff enough to pass meaningful reforms without setting into motion a devastating process in which those bluffs become reality. The rest of us, though, should be clear about one thing: what we’re seeing now is a tiny minority trying to hold an entire city — an entire society — hostage to its own interests, using its structural leverage in the economy to undermine the democratic will of ordinary people."
