Don't let them tell you we can't afford to tackle the social emergency we face.

A one-off 10% tax on wealth above Β£10m could raise Β£86 BILLION.

There's huge wealth in our society. It's just in the wrong hands.

It's time for a Wealth Tax on the super-rich.

@mistyswoman and how does he propose doing that? Talk is cheap
@bcaligari @mistyswoman you tax thier assets. They're moneys abroad but thier assets are here. It's pretty simple. Gary Stevenson does a good explanation on wealth tax on YouTube if you want to know more.
@WGK90 @mistyswoman it's a slippery slope. Taxing income and transactions is one thing. Once you go down the road of expropriation it's a very very dangerous path. I'm old enough and have lived in places where that was tried.
@bcaligari @mistyswoman sure it is. I dont really give a shit by the point. Its hard to imagine life could be harder for the majority of people
@WGK90 @mistyswoman that's so silly and sorry sighted. Thinking your life sucks so go for knee jerk measures to try to screw over others you think have it better or are the cause of your misfortune. Yep, haven't been there before! 🀦
@bcaligari @mistyswoman sure thing buddy. And I'm fine. I just care about my fellow humans possibly more so than you
@WGK90 @mistyswoman the holier than thou card. The far right and the far left really do meet at the opposite side of the politico sanity circle. May you all remain nothing but fringe loons.
