I think it's important to have a tax system that reflects the reality of wealth distribution. The ultra-rich should be paying a much higher percentage of their income in taxes.

#YesWeCan challenge & change the #mainstreamnarrative. #Austerity is a #politicalchoice With an alternative #progressivetaxation policy everyone pays their fair share & we properly fund: #Education; #NHS; #Aid; #SocialServices etc

We now have 300,000 people signed up and the establishment is clearly frightened.

Westminster is broken, but the real crisis is inequality: just fifty families now own more wealth than half the population.

Let’s change that together.

Just did an income-tax-rise calculator thing that shows I'd be £16.06 worse off a month if Rachel Reeves puts up income tax by a penny. So we'd all be £16.06 better off. Do it! Do it!

No one in this thread mentions that Bill Clinton also used Progressive Taxation to balance the Budget. I've been using him as an example of #TaxWealthNotWork lately, ha ha ha. Oh, you are afraid of debt and deficit??? Have you met #ProgressiveTaxation my friend? Here's a real world example!

Money needs to circulate through the economy to work. Since the 1980s, we cut taxes on the wealthy, deregulated finance, and enabled offshore tax havens—which let wealth get extracted from circulation and hoarded.

When govs cut welfare, the poor suffer first. But they already pay more (relative to income) than the rich. Instead of raising VAT or PAYE, why not tax wealth properly? #WelfareNotWealth #ProgressiveTaxation

Oxfem: A European agenda to tax the super-rich: A solution to inequality in the European Union 2025-10-09 53 pages long Languages: English Overview: Europe faces a deep inequality crisis: the richest 1% in the EU own nearly a quarter of all wealth while half the population shares just 3%. Decades of tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations resulted in the super-rich paying proportionally less taxes than ordinary citizens, eroding fairness, democracy, and social cohesion. The EU lacks harmonized policies to curb extreme wealth concentration and tax avoidance of the wealthiest. Oxfam calls for bold reforms, such as an EU-wide or national tax on the super-rich and transparency mechanisms like an EU assets registry, to fund social needs, climate action, and development. Taxing the super-rich is widely supported, is feasible and is urgent. Keywords Accountability Democracy European Union Fiscal justice Governance Inequality Progressive taxation Tax avoidance Tax the super-rich wealth redistribution Wealth tax

One of many reasons why Labour shouldn't be targeting people on benefits, ESPECIALLY disabled people. #ProgressiveTaxation #WealthTaxNow

Almost one in five people receiving Universal Credit and disability benefits used a food bank in the last month

Hunger and hardship are already at record levels. Welfare and disability benefit cuts risk pushing even more people to the doors of food banks.

Yes, and the wealthy, along with corporations, who use the commons more than working people individually, have an obligation to pay more taxes as a result. #incomeinequality #progressivetaxation

@genkitchenmp.bsky.social This would be a popular move! Can't we punch up instead of punching down all the time!? Those with wealth have seen massive increases, while those already struggling will be screwed over more #NoToDisabilityCuts #NoMoreAusterity #ProgressiveTaxation

There is an alternative to Government welfare cuts - a 2% tax on wealth. There is no shortage of money here, we just need a fairer approach to tax - take more from the few not the many.

(2/n) Some argue for a return to the #ProgressiveTaxation & social service investments of the past - & I agree with them.
But WE HAD those systems in place & they were eroded. To prevent that erosion repeating we ALSO need a more fundamental, transparent, measure to check the influence of wealth.
