“I hate the way people romanticize struggle from a safe distance.
They call simple food ‘honest.’ They call overwork ‘humble.’ They say things like, ‘Money isn’t everything,’ and somehow it’s always the people with money saying it.”
—from my novel “Bohemians”

That wanker will no likely be going further than the using allowances that the treasury can cost, and on to avoidance and it wouldn'n cine as a shock if onwards to evasion. #Taxgap #inequality
Increased #Poverty & #Inequality in the US is official POLICY.
This is not ever going to get any better under current conditions (political, society, leadership etc.).

This isn't talked about nearly enough.
Wealth inequality in Canada is a massive problem.
It's almost as if subsidies for corporations and low taxes for the wealthy is not good policy.

'Let them eat two-minute noodles'.
The #RBA's bludgeoning of the poorest households while ignoring profits,
along with the government's inexcusable failure to #RaiseTheRate,
is the perfect recipe for even more #poverty and #inequality. #auspol
We are being robbed. #Inequality
Britons should strive to appoint a government that will tax the ultra wealthy as effectively as possible.

There are too many areas where the Albanese govt is indistinguishable from Morrison's.
We can only conclude that Albo is either too spineless to do the necessary reform, or he is happy to be Scomo 2.0. #auspol #inequality

Some US states are reviving a push to #TaxTheRich | #inequality #WealthTax #law | apnews.com/article/mill...
Traveling to an unequal country is one thing; living there is another. I've met many Europeans and Americans who travel extensively, including to countries in the Global South.
Some seem to genuinely care about inequalities and their consequences, and are thoughtful about these issues. However […]
I hope this will be fractal, and repeat itself across all consumer scales, and against all corporate #profit-seekers. Make them play by & with themselves.
You cannot support your oppressors & inequality without continuing your oppression & #inequality.
Suit up into collectives & end this sh!t.
Most of the so-called '1%' are relative lightweights. It's worth reading this article to see how wealth in Canada (and a broader control of the wealth of others) is concentrated in a mere handful of incredibly rich families. #Inequality

Don’t be so gullible. Nothing was ever going to trickle down and people should stop pretending to think that this was ever going to happen. Rich people are greedy and would never share anything to make others lives better. Keeping people poor is their plan. Easier to control.

"If the Albanese government is serious about delivering fairness and opportunity, it must scrap the JRGP and reverse the fee hikes." @varshayajman.bsky.social
And that's the problem: the Albanese govt has shown little sign of fixing #inequality. #auspol

Data shows we've surpassed medieval levels of inequality. A King had 50x the "buying power" of a serf; today’s top CEOs make 344x their workers' pay. If you have a negative net worth due to debt, you literally have less wealth than a medieval serf. #Inequality #Economics
"Socialist, right but too early"
“Marx predicted the world of today,” from extreme concentrations of wealth to capitalism’s global hunt for profit and the failure to distribute society’s abundance justly.

Our tax dollars at work: Between 2020 and 2025, America’s top military contractors devoted $110 billion to stock buybacks and dividends that boosted their share prices — and, of course, CEO pay packages.

The causation goes #inequality > status competition > plutocracy > autocracy. Status competition favours the already rich and those who are prepared to act in an anti-social way (bullies, narcissists etc) to get to the top, stay there, and push others down. #Inequality rewards dominance strategies.
