I live in Massachusetts and we instituted a Millionaire's Tax of 2%. Not only has nobody left, we actually have more millionaires than we did before the tax.

Yes, Labour, we call bullshit! The UK is the anomaly, with a vast gulf of inequality between rich and poor. Here's our govt's own headline: "the wealthiest 10% estimated to hold around half of all wealth, primarily in the form of private pensions and property"

An incredibly important map: this is how the network of lobbyist influence works. Just this snapshot of the private water companies should tell you how private oil and gas, transport, heath, development, even education - so many aspects of our society - serve private interests.
I've found 45 links between the Labour party and the private water companies. Most of them are sitting MPs..🥀

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

This is how Rachel Reeves could deliver a progressive budget.
Billions available without increasing the rate of income tax, National Insurance or corporation tax.
Just end some of the perks for a select few, anomalies and abuses. Redistribute to alleviate poverty, better infrastructure.

Caught a snippet of someone on R4 talking about a 'whole systems failure' in the NHS. Add elected Greens talking about the need for a total systemic overhaul of taxation.
