“Tax the Rich” EU initiative agony
The formal proposal that would have imposed EU to discuss the initiative is about to be abandoned, having obtained only ~1/3 of the necessary votes across Europe, while only some days are left now.
The complicated voting system result at this moment, at this time, is quite original (see the figure) as we discover both German and French people did strongly support (countries in black) while some neigbors generally considered poorer didn’t reach this level -maybe due to unsufficient awareness?
If you are (very) optimistic you still can go and add your vote (try recruiting followers outside France and Germany!) but really we literally have only days left now…
(even if probably useless, doing this is really interesting to learn the way it works -and there are many other proposed initiatives ongoing that may please you too)

#wirsindamarsch, sowas von....
Da fliegt man (wie zig-tausend andere) voller schlechtem Gewissen nach #Korfu....
Und dann sieht man (mal abgesehen von den 4 Kreuzfahren vor Korfu Stadt) so ein #Boot, eine Azimut 85F (Länge 26,8m, Gebrauchtpreis ~1,7Mio €, 2x1800PS, 5 Toiletten, Max. Speed: 29 kn), das mit 9000L Kraftstoff betankt wird.
1 Woche rund 40000€, Skipper und Crew inclusive (Motorbootschein hat ja nicht jeder)...
Und das ist eines der kleineren Boote, also für "arme" Reiche.
Von den "tollen" Booten mit eingebautem Hafen für die Beiboote mag ich garnicht reden.
Hinzu kommen noch all die mietbaren Motorboote und Jetskies, mit denen man die "hidden treasures of Corfu" selbst erkunden kann.
Was für ein Verkehr auf dem Wasser - und das nur um Korfu (einer einzigen Insel von X im Mittelmeer)....
Weltweit mag ich mir das garnicht vorstellen....
Noch Fragen?

The real fix for Social Security - Robert Reich
The solution is obvious: Scrap the cap and make the rich pay more in Social Security taxes.
#TaxTheRich
Les 1 % les plus riches émettent autant de gaz à effet de serre que les 66 % les plus pauvres, tout en payant moins d’impôts.
🛬 Il est temps de #TaxTheRichEU !
C'est une initiative citoyenne européenne, bien plus efficace juridiquement que les françaises (lesquelles sont juste "consultatives") mais faut-il encore qu'elle obtienne un nombre de voix suffisant pour déclencher son activation...
Celle-ci n'est pas trop bien barrée (200 000 signatures, il en faut un million pour septembre) mais pas encore morte non plus...
Signez ici : https://eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/screen/home
incidemment, il y a plein d'autres propositions d'initiatives sue le site, et beaucoup valent d'être lues/supportées aussi...

Die wichtigste Ermittlerin im #cumex Skandal gibt auf
Die Politik, so Brorhilkers Fazit, habe elf Jahre nach Bekanntwerden der ersten Cum-Ex-Fälle noch immer nicht hinreichend reagiert. Der Steuerdiebstahl sei längst nicht gestoppt, es gebe Nachfolgemodelle, wie bei einem "Hase-und-Igel-Spiel". Grund seien fehlende Kontrollen, was bei Banken und auf den Aktienmärkten geschehe. "Wenn keine Kontrolle passiert durch staatliche Organe, dann greifen die Menschen in die Auslagen. Aber wenn da eine Videokamera über der Auslage installiert ist, dann denkt man dreimal darüber nach, ob man zugreift."
Wenn deine beste Leute aufgeben, hast du ein massives Korruptionsproblem.

The whole model of taxing "income" is wrong. We need to tax Wealth, not Income. Because the ones who desperately need taxing aren't the working folk.
Incidentally, in Canada there is a tax rebate called the "Canada Workers Benefit" (previously "Working Income Tax Benefit") which returns several thousand dollars to those within the bracket. It's a tiny band-aid step in the right direction, to lighten the tax load on those who are working for it, but the whole system needs to change.
Now here's a great idea! A double dose of positive impact: Tax the obscenely wealthy here, and help Ukraine too.
US President outlines plan to shield Ukraine from "butcher Putin"
Biden spoke about the possibility of raising additional funds by increasing taxes for billionaires in the United States.
He noted that if billionaires paid a 25% federal tax rate, it could generate US$400 billion over the next 10 years.Quote: "Imagine what we could do with that. We could do so many things – consequential – including finally making sure that we take care of Ukraine from that butcher Putin," Biden said.
Almost Bernie-esque in simplicity, clarity, morality, and practicality. A bit perplexing that this is coming from beyond our domestic press/news coverage here (rather than Ukraine Pravda). But still, a fabulous thing to ponder, and to do! Go Bernie! I mean Biden...

It's all on paper, though.
You can't eat gold and you can't eat diamonds, and their value is still determined in terms of currency, which is on paper. They may hoard it but they can't spend it because if they do, there will be an oversupply of currency and that will devalue the currency. They're a bunch of morons with a hoarding disorder which makes 'em no different than your hoarding cousin living in a trailer park.

[Paywall] #Billionaires Are Hoarding Trillions in Untaxed #Wealth. They Want the #SupremeCourt to Keep It That WayA new report from #AmericansForTaxFairness found that America’s richest families accumulated $8.5 trillion in untaxed capital gains in 2022

THE TOTAL INCOMES OF THE CANADIAN TOP 1% OF TAX FILERS, ROSE BY 9.4 % IN 2021.
"Earlier this month, Statistics Canada released a report looking at the income and capital gains of the wealthiest Canadians in 2021. The findings are startling.
The total incomes of the top 1 per cent of tax filers, excluding capital gains, rose by 9.4 per cent in 2021. As StatCan explains, “This [income growth] occurred in the context of COVID-19 pandemic restrictions easing, many government benefit programs winding down, the labour market recovering, and the Canadian house prices and stock market indexes increasing in 2021.”
In other words, the wealthiest benefited from both growing earned income and gains from capital, at the same time that many workers were seeing benefit reductions and paltry wage growth amid a cost-of-living crisis.
By contrast, workers’ average hourly wages grew by just 3.9 per cent between 2019 and 2021. (Average wages actually fell between 2020 and 2021 because the share of low-wage jobs recovered post-pandemic and thus affected the composition of jobs in the data sample.)
To put things in perspective, it took workers nearly a decade to see their wages grow as much as the 1 per cent managed to realize in one year. Between 2012 and 2021, average hourly wages increased by roughly 9.6 per cent... ."
