Funny, that’s about the amount of money we need to address the #ClimateCrisis globally.
Looks like the timing could not have been better for that metal Les Mis part of the #OpeningCeremony.
Good job #Paris2024 reminding them that there are worse fates than the big boogieman they see in the taxman. #TaxTheRich

We all know there are plenty of strategies to address inequality. All that's needed is political will to enact them. For example.
End franking credits
End negative gearing
Wealth tax
Inheritance tax
Income tax
Living wage
Free education of good quality
Free child care of good quality
Free aged care of good quality
The flat rate ten percent goods ans services tax was introduced without much fanfare. The tampon tax.
Why not a flat rate on Australian wealth?
Say four percent of all your accumulated assets. Too much tax will remove incentive. Too little tax amounts to unchecked inequality. There is a rational medium.
I propose a citizens lobby on the issue of economic equality.
