Why is impoverishing young and disabled people to the tune of £5 billion a higher priority for the Government than introducing a wealth tax? 👇

Instead of slashing welfare and disability benefits — forcing more disabled people and children into poverty — the government could introduce a 2% tax on assets over £10 million.
It would raise £24 billion — five times the savings from these cuts.
This is austerity 2.0

What you’re doing RIGHT NOW is what you’d have done “back then”.
We NEED nondisabled people to speak up, to act up, to do SOMETHING, because your voices & actions always carry more weight in our ableist society.

All so they can protect the wealthiest from paying their fair share.
Instead of targeting the most vulnerable, let’s “crack down” on corporations and billionaires evading tax instead.

One of the worst things about being chronically ill for me is feeling awful, restless, can’t concentrate and go almost into panic and then I take painkillers and it turns out my body was confused and in pain. It’s never localised unless I’ve injured something or have a migraine.
