2% tax on assets over $30 million. It will attain some mix of increased revenue and aristocracy leaving the state. So, win-win.
>> [Juliana #Stratton] said she would not vote for Chuck #Schumer … and ran an ad with people saying F--k #Trump. She was endorsed and supported by Governor JB #Pritzker. IL is a very #Democratic state…
#DickDurban is a dick, and so, good riddance!
Now, let's just hope #JBPritzker makes it to the White House instead of #Newsom from #California who is in the pocket of #SiliconValley #billionaires and who is now fighting #wealthTax on wealthy Americans. #EatTheRich
A #WealthTax on the ultra-rich to fund public schooling is exactly the kind of politically progressive action that has become increasingly rare in today’s Western world that unconditionally serves the wealthy.
And the reaction of the Danish billionaires reflects just how much the ultra-rich has degenerated into a different species with very little resemblance to the rest of humanity.
They’d rather leave #Denmark than pay a 0.5% tax that ensures that enough teachers are available in primary schools, and that classes don’t have more than 25 students.
"Building a Better #California is an advocacy group with an associated political action committee (PAC) founded with $35 million in funding from Google co-founder Sergey Brin, former #Google CEO Eric Schmidt, and numerous other billionaires.

"To rein in #corporate power and make life affordable, we can’t rely on the same #neoliberal toolbox. Strong, #democratic nations are built by investing in people and communities—not funnelling more money and influence to a few corporations. It’s time for a new approach that works for everyone." https://canadiandimension.com/articles/view/canadas-biggest-corporations-raked-in-677-billion-last-year-why-are-they-still-getting-handouts
To rein in corporate power and make life affordable, we can’t rely on the same neoliberal toolbox, write Jared A. Walker and Silex Xuereb. Strong, democratic nations are built by investing in people and communities—not funnelling more money and influence to a few corporations. It’s time for a new approach that works for everyone.
In #canada the #wealth share of the top 1% has risen to 22.7%
A #wealthtax makes a lot of sense.
