Ever been to Monaco? It’s an ugly shithole, full of the worst people in the world
The thing about "tax the rich and they'll leave" is that the rich are people, and want to live somewhere nice. And the places with low taxes tend not to be all that nice.

This now exceeds the building damage recorded in Hiroshima. www.icanw.org/hiroshima_an...
The UN’s satellite centre (Unosat) has published its most recent assessment of damage in Gaza: around 78% of buildings there were damaged or destroyed by Israel by July this year. More than 40% completely destroyed. Here's an example of what that looks like in Abasan al-Kabira in the south.

I'd happily pay higher Local Property Tax if the money offset rates and other costs for enterprises of cultural value like bookshops, cinemas, heritage (non-franchise) cafes and youth clubs.
I think many homeowners would, but politicians seem to think we want tiny tax cuts.

I swear, this is the best thing about voting in Ireland. Spitefulness is the reason I get up in the morning, so including it in the democratic process is just gravy on top.
Reminder: Ireland’s PR-STV electoral system not only allows you to support the candidates you like - but also to punish the ones you don’t.
If there’s a candidate(s) you despise, you can promote *literally everyone else* ahead of them by giving those rivals all the preferences on your ballot paper.
