Mojo ♻️Australia's super-generous property tax breaks—negative gearing + 50% CGT discount—have turned housing into a wealth machine for the already-wealthy. Result? Sky-high prices, falling home ownership for younger gens (36% of millennials bought before 30 vs 55% boomers), and now a hardening class divide: own property (or inherit the means) or get locked out forever. Without big tax reform, this isn't fixing itself. It's entrenching classes.

Eric Darnley SmallThe WSJ's recent piece claiming billionaires’ low taxes threaten the economy misses the mark on its core argument but highlights a crucial issue: wealth is increasingly concentrated among ultra-rich few who often avoid paying their fair share. Discussions rarely focus on the true economic powerhouses—the 0.1%, 0.01%, and even 0.00001%—who wield the most wealth, influence, and tax avoidance. While the top 1% pays about 27% of federal taxes—including income, payroll, and other taxes—their overall tax contribution is still significantly less relative to their wealth. This imbalance fuels inequality and threatens democratic and economic stability.

Why rich kids always win at life
British economist and former Citi trader Gary Stevenson warns that Australia is losing its "fair go" ethos due to a worsening housing crisis and widening wealth gap. During an Australian speaking tour, he told the ABC that governments worldwide are failing to seriously tackle inequality. Stevenson advocates for higher wages, improved housing affordability, and tax reforms that take more from the wealthy to boost living standards for low and middle-income households. He warns that without action, Australia will face the same decline in public services and rise in poverty seen in the UK and Europe. Despite his large YouTube following, Political leaders, trapped in "bubbles," are resistant to changing the economic status quo.
