Jan Blockx@rbreich In many European countries, political parties receive funding from the state in accordance with their electoral results, and donations are limited. This avoids billionaire capture, aka plutocracy, which is what happened in the US.
Alnakar 🇨🇦@rbreich maybe once he's a trillionaire he'll start creating jobs and it'll finally start trickling down.
I mean, if what you're doing isn't working, you just need to keep blindly doing the same thing until you get different results, right? I'm pretty sure there's some sort of saying about that...

ApaulDSATURDAY 14 MARCH 7pm - 8.30pm AEDT
Already over 200 have signed up! It's not too late to join us.
Help launch a new campaign to tax extreme wealth, redistribute power and restore democracy to ordinary people. RSVP to receive the Zoom link. https://actionnetwork.org/events/tax-wealth
Around the world a small number of obscenely rich people are growing wealthier every day while the vast majority fall further behind.
Extreme wealth is also one of the biggest barriers to action on the climate emergency. Right-wing populist parties like One Nation are gaining ground, backed by self-interested billionaires.
Tax wealth, not work.
It’s time for people power.
