Reading this article made me mad. Not only is it lumping every ‘old person’ into a ‘rich’ bag which is clearly inconsistent with real life stats, but the ‘richness’ of the most fortunate among them is based on home ‘equity’ they cannot cash in (because even downsizing is expensive these days) and on their superannuation balance (a compulsory scheme and every worker will eventually get there as well). I’ve a gutful of ‘experts’ drunk on #neoliberal #Kool-Aid blaming the ‘#boomers’ (I’m one of them and I’m not rich. I just have a home — which I’m still paying off) instead of focussing on the #TechBros #Corporations #Billionaires and #MultiMillionaires #Grifters #Usurers #Nepos and generally the #Rich who play the system to avoid paying their fair share of Taxes. Fed up. Fed up I tell you.

They have known for over a century, at least since the 1950's.
The #FirstNations and #NativeAmericans are right: the earth 🌎 doesn't belong to anyone. Therefore, its proceeds belong to all inhabitants.
#Norway is a prosperous, democratic country today, despite its #viking past.
Its #FossilFuel proceeds feed an investment fund for all natives and not some #billionaires whose ancestors got lucky.
I forgot, before:
And an #InheritanceTax for #MultiMillionaires is needed.

Jan PenfratIf anyone needed any more proof about how evil & egocentric the #superrich mostly are: In response to a 1% wealth tax increase in #Norway, more than 30 #billionaires and #multimillionaires left the country in 2022. 
“This was not what I wanted, but the toughened and increased tax rules of the current government means that I (...) have no choice,” says person who owns 130+ million Euros.
The super-rich are blackmailing Norway's goverment:

Darryl Collins 🚴🏻"The report said that for every $1 of new global wealth earned by a person in the bottom 90% in the past two years, each #billionaire gained roughly $1.7m. Despite small falls in 2022, the combined fortune of #billionaires had increased by $2.7bn a day.

A tax of up to 5% on the world’s #multimillionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7tn a year, enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty, and fund a global plan to end hunger."

Prop. 30: Should multimillionaires’ taxes be raised to tackle climate change?
Hike taxes for multimillionaires. Generate funds to subsidize zero-emission vehicles and pay for wildfire response and prevention. Clean up polluted air.
