We absolutely wouldnt' need #Philanthropy with a well-administered distribution of the funds we ought to have from a #ProgressiveTaxOnWealth.
And Progressive Tax on Wealth could also fund the #Education required to fuel Democracy.
Along with structuring taxes to accelerate the hoarding by Oligarchs the current "administration" has crippled Philanthropy.

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 – Tribal community development financing tool under fire » Native America Calling

A tool to help finance housing, business, and other community development projects on tribal land is in President Donald Trump’s crosshairs. President Trump’s executive order eliminates funding for Community Development Financial Institutions (CDFI). It’s unclear what the order means in practicality. His budget reduces federal funding for CDFIs by almost $300 million. If the cuts to CDFIs are realized, it could significantly curtail progress on affordable housing, small businesses, green energy, and other projects. GUESTS Jonelle Yearout (Nez Perce), executive director of the Nimiipuu Community Development Fund Pete Upton (Ponca Tribe of Nebraska), CEO and chairperson of the Native CDFI Network and executive director of the Native360 Loan Fund Roxanne Best (Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation), business owner Chrystel Cornelius (Oneida Nation of Wisconsin and Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa Indians), president and CEO of the Oweesta Corporation

Thomas Piketty showed lower taxes result in cash hoarding.
A #progressivetaxonwealth will lead to more investment, reduce outrageous salaries & fund the infrastructure required in an interconnected, closed loop environment like the ONE planet we share.

Tax Dodging is a Monopoly Tactic

Local and federal policymakers have systematically structured tax policy in a way that deepens the concentration of corporate power, Stacy Mitchell and Susan Holmberg argue in this issue brief, co-published with the Roosevelt Institute.
