Piketty on the need for a wealth tax, with a fairly hilarious French Revolution analogy – Le blog de Thomas Piketty https://www.lemonde.fr/blog/piketty/2025/06/17/the-senate-beside-the-story/
Ultra-wealthy, the Senate beside the story
By opposing the 2% minimum wealth tax on the 1,800 French people whose net worth exceeds €100 million, after the measure was adopted by France's Assemblée nationale (lower house of Parliament), the upper house, the Sénat, has shown just how disconnected it is from the issues of our time. This is nothing new. Between 1896 …

Trump’s tax law includes a $40,000 SALT cap. Here’s who qualifies.
The new GOP tax law quadruples how much people can deduct in state and local taxes off their federal returns, offering significant relief to high earners in many Democratic-led states by partially undoing a big change in President Donald Trump’s 2017 law.
That 2017 law, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, limited the deduction to $10,000 a year, imposing a cap for the first time as a way of reducing the bill’s overall cos…

This is how important tax incentives are and why countries that only reactively shape their tax systems will keep lagging behind.

Public Service Announcement: If you've worked in the UK, and you've changed the UK number that you use for accessing Gov.UK services, it is impossible to restore access because the default recovery workflow requires UK-issued photo ids: either a UK passport, or a UK driving license, are mandatory, even if you never had one or provided one in the first place.

This tweaker pack saved my second playthrough of Assassin's Creed Odyssey, this time with Kassandra. The game is so grindy, every opportunity available to avoid paying the Ubisoft micro transaction tax is fair game.

The fact that Josh Hawley can’t deal with Trump? :blobcatroll: //Mr. Trump has promised working-class tax cuts and protection for working-class social insurance, such as Medicaid. But now a noisy contingent of corporatist Republicans—call it the party’s Wall Street wing—is urging Congress to ignore all that and get back to the old-time religion: corporate giveaways, preferences for capital and deep cuts to social insurance.

Before returning to Albion EU I wanted to get at least full T4 gear on Albion Asia plus Avalonian Pickaxe after using learning points to get to T4 mining. Upgrade costs are part of the data.
As of this moment I give a brief glance at all members in the guild "Mastodon Fediverse 100 Tax":
1/7 online. The 1 that's me of course.

The number of undocumented people held in immigration jails has exploded under Donald Trump’s brutal crackdown.
Despite polls showing growing public disgust with viral videos of heavily armed officers making violent arrests,
the administration is doubling down on policies aimed at filling immigration jails and detention camps with up to 100,000 people at any given time
— a massive expansion from the current incarcerating capacity of 41,500 people.
Along with tax brea…

Just got back home from the show tonight, brought up the Zohran primary win with my friend and his dad just blurted out the Trump socialist communist (because those can be a thing at the same time) claim line like a sleeper agent, mentioned some "anti-white tax" that doesn't exist and honestly the situation just had the same effect of someone randomly bringing up that they have 30 days to live. Maaaan, this might be the end of my social life lmao

72k silver richer after my 30 minute T4 mining round and probably my last one on Albion Asia for now.
As of this moment I give another brief glance at all members in the guild "Mastodon Fediverse 100 Tax":

The last time a Republican-controlled Congress and President Donald Trump moved to slash Medicaid spending, in 2017, a key political force stood in their way:
GOP governors.
Now, as Congress steamrolls toward passing historic Medicaid cuts of about $1 trillion over 10 years through Trump’s tax and spending legislation,
red-state governors are saying little publicly about what it does to health care
— even as they face reductions that will punch multibillion-dollar hole…

#TheAmericanFascist wants to Tariff everything from Canada again. Time to implement the Digital Services Tax, and no take backs this time.
(edit: and here's an idea, match it to whatever cumulative number of percentage Trump has on Canada? 50% steel plus 50% copper plus 35% everything else. Sounds like 135% DST to me by his math!)

Jeffries is still speaking, passing the six-hour mark. The Democratic leader just indicated that he plans to keep going for at least several more hours.
Jeffries has spent much of his time reading testimonials from Americans – parents, veterans, business owners – all of whom say they would be harmed by a bill Democrats says would “explode our nation’s debt” and “devastate our social safety net”.
