@newstik@social.heise.deThe EU is planning a new, graduated #tax on companies with more than 50 mio Euro revenue, the wires say.
I see a lost #opportunity. They should tax the market capitalization of companies, not their revenue. This would create a direct incentive to split up into smaller entities, rather than buy…
@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzStonking evidence-based piece from @…, available in either text or video -
"Why are the wealthy so wealthy?"
"The short answer? The UK tax system is stacked in their favour. From low capital gains rates to massive ISA and pension subsidies, we're handing the wealthy thousands each year while working people shoulder the load. I break down the numbers, show how tax reliefs pour money into the pockets of the top 20%, and reveal why your taxes are effectively funding luxury lifestyles."

@unchartedworlds@scicomm.xyzbenefits, taxes, Starmer etc
Well done disability activists for championing (relative) fairness, care and sense. You shouldn't have had to deal with that cruel nonsense, but you led the way, and I appreciate it.
Tip of the hat to Labour rebels.
Keir Starmer you should fix the tax system now. #TaxWealthNotWork.
There's a campaign for a new 2% tax on wealth over £10,000,000, which seems entirely reasonable to me.
