#Revati #Nakshatra #constellation is the final stop in the zodiac, right next to the newly included Abhijeet nakshatra. It holds special significance as it’s considered the #birth #star of #Goddess #Laxmi, the deity of prosperity.

This constellation is often referred to as the ‘bringer of light.’ In this context, light symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, spiritual growth, and ultimately, enlightenment. It’s like a guiding star that can lead you from the material world to a metaphysical realm, or simply put, help you find inner enlightenment.

One interesting aspect is that it’s ruled by Mercury, which makes it the last Mercurial constellation. This transition from Mercury’s influence to Jupiter’s wisdom is quite significant. Since all Piscean constellations are ruled by Jupiter, Revathi marks a shift towards acquiring wisdom. It’s also associated with liberation Revati Nakshatra.

If someone has Revati with Ketu in the 11th or 12th house of their birth chart, it’s believed to symbolize liberation from the cycle of birth and death, known as samsara. This is seen as the final incarnation on Earth, indicating spiritual liberation Revati Nakshatra.

The symbol of Revati is a pair of fish, which aligns with Pisces being a water sign. This symbolizes the journey of the human soul in the spiritual realm. Fish also represent fertility and growth, making this Nakshatra a symbol of both endings and new beginnings Revati Nakshatra.

The drum, another symbol of Revati Nakshatra, was historically used by kings and rulers to convey important messages to the masses. In the context of this Nakshatra, it represents communication. People born under Revati often have sociable and pleasing personalities, which can be attributed to this communication symbolism Revati Nakshatra.

UK: Crumbling schools plagued by leaks and cold, BBC finds

Schools in urgent need of repair have told Panorama they are struggling to keep children warm in buildings that are "not fit for purpose".

At one primary in Devon, temperatures are so low that children keep gloves and coats on during some lessons.

The head teacher says despite parts of the school being seemingly impossible to heat, he has been told it does not qualify for extra money for repairs.

Wealth over fairness: Shocking report unveils #tax favoritism for the #rich in 41 #US #states
According to the #report, in 41 out of 50 states, the wealthiest 1 percent are subjected to lower tax rates compared to other #income groups.

Ruth Milka -January 10, 2024

..."The report contextualizes the current tax systems against the backdrop of recent trends in various states. Notably, several states have embarked on tax-cutting sprees, significantly reducing rates for #corporations and the #wealthy. This trend comes at a time when reports indicate that ultra-rich #Americans hold an estimated $8.5 trillion in untaxed assets.

In contrast to the prevailing trend, six states – California, Maine, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, and Vermont – along with the District of Columbia, have implemented progressive tax systems. For instance, Massachusetts’ introduction of a millionaires tax led to a substantial improvement in the state’s ranking on ITEP’s Tax Inequality Index. Similarly, Minnesota has enhanced its tax policies for high earners while providing benefits for lower-income families.

Florida stands out as having the most regressive tax code in the U.S., with the wealthiest 1% paying a tax rate of only 2.7 percent, in stark contrast to the 13.2 percent rate for the poorest 20 percent. The lack of personal income taxes in Florida and similar states leads to a heavier reliance on regressive consumption and property taxes.

Recent years have seen a trend towards more regressive tax systems in many states. Kentucky, for example, has moved toward a flat tax system, resulting in significant tax cuts for higher-income families, offset by increased sales and excise taxes on a range of services and goods.

Some states are showing that tax regressivity can be addressed. New Mexico and Massachusetts have made notable progress through reforms to refundable credits and increased taxation of top earners. These efforts demonstrate the potential for policy changes to create more equitable tax systems.

The ITEP report sheds light on the pervasive issue of tax inequality across the United States. With 41 states taxing their wealthiest citizens at lower rates than other income groups, the study calls into question the fairness and effectiveness of current state tax policies. As ITEP’s Aidan Davis puts it, “The regressive state tax laws we see today are a policy choice, and it’s clear there are better choices available to lawmakers.” This conclusion underscores the need for a reevaluation of tax systems in favor of a more equitable approach."...

Guy Hands: ‘I thought Brexit was frankly nuts’

“What Brexit was largely about was people at the top being able to employ the rest of the country for a lot less and pay a lot less tax,” he says.

Hands should know. He is one of those people at the top, a former Tory donor who is the founder and chair of Terra Firma, a private equity firm he founded. It has made him a multi-millionaire and one of the best-known figures in the British financial system.

#Revati #Nakshatra in #Astrology
Revati means ‘the #wealthy’. Its symbol is #fish representing travelling or long journeys, specifically overseas or waterways. Another symbol is a #drum which means ‘a marker of time. That is why ‘timing’ is a significant factor for Revati natives.

Its deity is ‘ #Pushan’, a god of ‘safety’ or ‘safe travels’. Usually, these natives are the ones who don’t face any problems while travelling. Pushan is invoked to protect flocks from wolves and for safe travelling. He is also said to recover any lost items or animals.

Revati natives have soothing personalities. The #star under this nakshatra is called ‘ #AlPherg’ or ‘the tail of the northern fish’. This is a very auspicious nakshatra. The #stars located in this nakshatra give organisational ability and focus. The natives are indicative of a success-related journey in life. They are incredibly #psychic or have vivid #dreams. #Dreaming is a part of their life.

This deals with the last and final sign where they have this innate curiosity to know what this world is about and where we go after #death. However, it is a highly #spiritual nakshatra.

Generally, their #travels are #protected.
Even when there are minor problems, overall the travel should go well. Symbolically, it also means travelling to another world – to the next #reincarnation – the final #journey from this life to the next one.

Revati natives have a love for #humanity and society. They become part of communities that help people, where they offer money, time and connections. Children are important to them. The natives in this nakshatra love pets and provide food and shelter for animals.

In the zodiac wheel, Revati Nakshatra is connected to the Pisces sign.

‘Tax us now’: ultra-rich call on governments to introduce wealth taxes

"The current lack of action is gravely concerning. A meeting of the global elite in #Davos to discuss ‘cooperation in a fragmented world’ is pointless if you aren’t challenging the root cause of division,

“Defending #democracy & building cooperation requires action to build fairer economies right now – it is not a problem that can be left for our children to fix.

Ten Ways Billionaires Avoid Taxes on an Epic Scale

After a year of reporting on the tax machinations of the ultrawealthy, ProPublica spotlights the top tax-avoidance techniques that provide massive benefits to billionaires.

https://www.propublica.org/article/billionaires-tax-avoidance-techniques-irs-files

Last June, drawing on the largest trove of confidential American tax data that’s ever been obtained, ProPublica launched a series of stories documenting the key ways the ultrawealthy avoid taxes, strategies that are largely unavailable to most taxpayers. To mark the first anniversary of the launch, we decided to assemble a quick summary of the techniques — all of which can generate tax savings on a massive scale — revealed in the series.

A quotation by Diamond, Jared

Why weren’t these problems obvious to the Maya kings, who could surely see their forests vanishing and their hills becoming eroded? Part of the reason was that the kings were able to insulate themselves from problems afflicting the rest of society. By extracting wealth from commoners, they could remain well fed while everyone else was slowly starving. What’s more, the kings were occupied with their own power struggles. They had to concentrate on fighting one another and keeping up their images through ostentatious displays of wealth. By insulating themselves in the short run from the problems of society, the elite merely bought themselves the privilege of being among the last to starve.
