In 1989, the first year the Sunday Times Magazine compiled its famous rich list, the 0.001% wealthiest families living in the UK – about 200 families – owned wealth equivalent to 5% of UK GDP. Today that same group of the population owns wealth equivalent to 20% of UK GDP.

The era of trillionaires will be dire for democracy. Here is how we can fight back
There is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy. That’s because extreme wealth is always an extreme power

Warum #TaxTheRich zu kurz gedacht ist:

Disclaimer: nix dagegen Reichen was wegzunehmen, so generell
1. "the Rich", der Fokus auf Reiche oder Überreiche blendet halt komplett aus, wie es ersal zu diesem Reichtum kommt. Die Grünen haben auch gar kein Interesse das in Frage zu stellen. Die haben kein Problem mit der Profitmacherei an sich solange es nicht "maß…

Der Fehler bei der "Reichensteuer" ist das Framing. Viele Leute wollen reich werden und glauben also, dass sie das dann wieder abgeben müssen. Das Ding müsste "Überreichensteuer" heißen. Gleich im nächsten Satz müsste irgendwas mit "erst ab 100 Millionen" oder so kommen - damit auch dem letzten Träumer klar wird, dass er damit definitiv nicht gemeint ist. #Reichensteuer #Überreichensteuer

Dear @… I believe you have a plank already about this… but time to turn up the volume.

Today Rogers have added national insult to our telecommunication oligarchy injury. They have taken away Hockey Night in Canada and Bell and Telus continue to fleece Canadians as well (look up their latest illegal fee…)
Enough is enough. The privatization and deregulation experiment has failed. Canadians are poorer, less cohesive, and less able to experience all that Canada and the world has to offer regardless of their station in life or technological ability. This started in the 80s. It must end now.
It is time to take back our national pastimes and restore the expectation that every Canadian can communicate through equal and free access to communications.
1) Nationalize all telecommunication infrastructure under the CRTC.
2) Nationalize Bell, Rogers, Telus, and Quebecor media assets into the CBC.
3) Restore ad free CBC broadcasts across all platforms.
4) Provide Fibre home Internet, TV, and Mobile connectivity to every Canadian for $10 a month within 5 years.
