I’d be happy if some of the uber rich in NZ left. They disturb the peace, aren’t Living Wage Employers, throw $$ at political parties to remove regs, workers rights, safety&conditions. They continue taking more when they have enough while impoverishing people & communities. #nzpol #CallTheirBluff
And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.
NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

If the White House is insisting that there was no classified or secret information in the Signal chat, does that mean Jeffrey Goldberg can publish it all?

Bryan MacCormack, the executive director of a New York-based immigrant rights group, was pulled over by CBP with two undocumented passengers in the vehicle. He knew his rights, refused to acknowledge their "warrant", and despite CBP threatening him, the agents eventually were forced to let him go.

No excuse. It's just correct behaviour and they should be made to do it.

Every country has a powerful right wing that argue “if you tax the wealthy, they’ll leave”

We need to start calling their bluff.

We need to make it so the ultra wealthy either contribute enough to be a positive part of society, or be globally shunned and unable to extract further funds from us.

It’s time to reframe the conversation:
- Let’s focus on what we need, not what we can "afford."
- The real question is: what kind of society do we want to build?

A Democrat should file a bill on Monday for everyone to get $5,000 checks right now to see if Mike Johnson, John Thune and congressional Republicans will advance and pass it. Call their bluff. Pass the bill.

Mamdani's wealth tax has not caused the ultra wealthy to leave New York. Another reason to introduce them is to call their bluff.

Australia wanted SocMed companies to pay newspapers and when that didn’t work. They ask the Aussie govt to mandate a payment while telling SocMed companies under 16’s can’t be on their platforms. Maybe it’s time for them to leave Australia. #geoblock #calltheirbluff

Athens taxed the wealthy at a higher rate on the principle that it was Athens that gave the wealthy the market/opportunity to become wealthy & thrive.

US Corps should pay no less than 50% of a their "defined net income" per year.

If they leave then we don't buy from them.
