If we didn't have the greatest wealth disparity since just before the Great Depression, we'd actually be able to work on many of our greatest problems.

So I ask again. Billionaires: Would you rather be taxed or eaten?

Capitalist Profits Depend on Stealing Our Future

Capitalists have succeeded in arranging the future as a calculable source of extraordinary wealth, enriching a few in the present by imposing debts on the vast majority — and undermining the environmental conditions for a better tomorrow.

Yeah and make sure moving to Florida or Nevada or wherever doesn't extinguish the tax liability. Tax income, cap gains etc. based on where they're earned, not where the tax cheats have fled to.

 Je näher gegen Null Euro, desto besser! In Luxembourg und Estland gibt es (mindestens für einen Teil der Bevölkerung) kostenlose Beförderung im ÖPNV!

 Besser wäre die Besteuerung der Überreichen!

Damit könnten wir endlich das Klimageld an jene auszahlen, die gar nicht so viel zur Erderhitzung beitragen, weil sie es sich gar nicht leisten können!  

Damit könnten wir den Klimatransformationsfonds auffüllen um sinnvolle Maßnahmen zum Schutz unseres Planeten zu ergreifen.  

Damit könnten wir das Deutschlandticket kostenlos oder günstiger machen (zumindest für Menschen mit geringem Einkommen)
