if anything @georgemonbiot.bsky.social is mincing words by calling for taxation - for my part, as my handle indicates, I'm rapidly becoming more & more partial to a more radical proposition: Take it all.

I'm not even slightly kidding. No person should command wealth above a certain level - let's call it "too rich to care" & take everything above that & distribute it as organized charity.

At the root of all our problems stands one travesty: politicians’ surrender to the super-rich

There are many excuses for failing to tax the ultra-wealthy. The truth is that governments don’t tackle the problem because they don’t want to, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

I'm looking for a 25% wealth tax/year on families worth more than $200m, dropping to 5% when they're down to $78m.

California is pondering a 1-time 5% tax on families worth us$1.1b. 60% of NY residents (not just NYC) favour free, universal childcare until pre-K, with an explicit tax on the rich to fund it.

So, I want wayyy more, to end the 1%.

Since billionaires are a bug and not a feature, isn't it time to squash the bugs?

Someone at Google posted a meme celebrating the possibility of Sergey and Larry becoming the first trillionaires, and I couldn't let that one pass by - it got an #EndBillionaires response with a little more text, and then I started getting replies from my supposedly intelligent colleagues basically arguing for trickle down economics. Didn't we debunk that decades ago? #ThisIsWhyWeCantHaveNiceThings

I'm not sure this has any legs or is the right way to do it but something is better than nothing.
