Short and to the point… #JimChalmersMP is no dunce, he knows this. And it’s a fair guess to say that #AlboPM knows this as well. So, WFT is the govt waiting for? Piss the tax concessions on #CapitalGains and #NegativeGearing right off and FIX THIS. Become legends in your time guys.

There are a lot of good thoughts in this #HankGreen interview with #KylaScanlon, but this part stands out like a flashing light:

"Why do I pay lower taxes on money I don't work for?"

That should have been the rallying cry of every progressive candidate over the past 10 years. Raising the #CapitalGains tax rate is so much simpler than creating an entirely new #WealthTax from scratch, and it would make the #Democrats look like the party that values hard work.

* so why is #albanese trying to distract us with this talk of #capitalgains when we know they won’t do anything.
* we are going 300B to the USA so they and Uk can use our ports to store and maintain their #nuclear #subs
* #albanese is about to get a lesson on the #springbok tours by agreeing to let the hate/murdering #israelipresident into #australia.

Have I missed anything?

@vicfroh I have the opposite problem:

Why are billionaires nit forced to pay their fair share as well?

  • If I've to stomach 20% of my paycheck fir health insirance, than they can do the same!

  • Also billionaires too xan become insolvent, disabled / unable to work, unemployed / without income and then what? Why ain't they obligated to pay into the same social systems?

The fact that #CapitalGains ain't taxed like #WageWork and that #BuyBorrowDie is a legal way to even skirt any #taxation is the Problem!

@kims the fact that #BuyBorrowDie is legal and that people literally spending millions in luxury items pay less #IncomeTax (and neither #SocialSecurity nor #Healthcare) than their workers is the problem!

Cuz #WageWorkers don't get to avoid paying #taxes and #fees jusz by being paid in #shares (or items) in lieu of fungible money.
