Time to end the greatest #TaxCon ever, by the #UltraRich ? It should be obvious that the most popular political parties have been bought. They know their chances of being elected massively increases if more tax benefits are given to the ultra rich. That is likely why Starmer will lose the next election. It is also why Thatcher’s lie of a carrot and a stick was not ethical but ‘doublespeak’. Ethical taxes would represent the democratic and mediated rights of diverse interests, not the obscene growth in inequality and injustice that benefits the ultra rich and their corrupt governments! #UltraRichTaxCon #UltraRichEcocide #DemocracyIsBroken #UltraRichBenefitCheats #EthicalRights #TheStatesperson ? https://www.thestatesman.com/opinion/great-con-ii-1503048312.html
The Great Con ~ II

Tax rates are ostensibly kept low to promote investment and ensure greater compliance. Neither of these, in fact, happens. In the bargain the social indicators suffer and income disparity mounts. There is nothing like 'trickle down' of economic development in real life. Per capita GDP and similar indicators are the best tools to hide the reality of mounting inequality

@mpjgregoire @gemelliz @zenheathen For that matter, we should abolish voting. It is a failed, too easily corruptable, system.

I'll take #Sortition and Expert Guided Citizen Assemblies instead, thanks.

Feels like a declaration of war. If you can't have peaceful protest then you don't have democracy. Missing the point somewhat. More action needed to tackle this corrupt police state. #extinctionrebellion #systemchange #Democracyisbroken
