(1/3) Video explainer (in 3 parts, see below) of lessons on wealth inequality from climate action and how the two problems are similar. Plus proposal for a wealth limit with direct, equal, redistribution...
#WealthLimit #USpolitics

Someone tried to convince me a limit would lead to billionares corrupting government 'in self-defence' & that extreme wealth doesn't inherently lead to corruption (the evidence shows it does).

Neoliberal theories have officially hit rock bottom in trying to bend reality to fit fantasy. #WealthLimit

Put aside for a moment everything else you believe…

Will a leader actually fix anything systemic? If they can't confront extreme wealth then ultimately no: they will always ultimately defer to the ultra-rich.

(5/5) & more follow up thoughts on recent events, speculative wealth, & the motivation of the wealthy to produce wealth past the limit.

One more: In a discussion a right-winger provocatively asked how rich is too rich? Where would we(lefties) put the limit? Nobody dared to answer. I spontaneously said: 100 Million Euro per person. I stand by it. Enough for the greedy and still some protection for society. #wealthlimit #fairtaxation
