Untaxed wealth hidden offshore by richest 0.1% surpasses entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity: Oxfam
Oxfam’s new analysis reveals that untaxed offshore wealth held by the richest 0.1% now exceeds the entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity, exposing how tax havens fuel extreme inequality and urging global action to tax the super-rich and end secrecy.

"The amount of untaxed wealth hidden offshore by the richest 0.1 percent exceeds the entire wealth of the poorest half of humanity (4.1 billion people), according to a new Oxfam analysis published on April 2, 2026, ahead of the 10th anniversary of the Panama Papers."
The consequences are as predictable as they are devastating:
we see our public hospitals and schools starved of funds,
our social fabric shredded by rising inequality,
and ordinary people for…

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

Public backing for taxes falls when unfairness exposed
Public support for broad-based taxation risks eroding when voters learn that the super-rich pay lower tax rates than ordinary citizens, according to new research co-authored by King's academics.

If this doesn't make you incandescently angry, you might want to remove that boot from your mouth.

Tax the rich for a fairer Britain #Britain

Tax the super-rich for a greener, fairer Britain
Britain is crying out for national renewal, and it’s climate solutions that can improve people’s lives starting tomorrow. Solutions that are achievable if those with the broadest shoulders - who also emit the most to pollute our climate - chip in and do their bit. I’ve joined Greenpeace in demanding a one-off National Renewal Tax on the super-rich 0.1% in the UK - with wealth over £10 million - to help rebuild our country. Will you also add your name?

Jackson, Wyo., has long been a refuge for the rich. But the last five years saw a boom in wealth of a kind never before seen. Across the country, the 2017 tax cuts minted hundreds of new billionaires.

Apropos of Denim Dan Lurie's tax break for rich real estate investors... The mayor's brother is a luxury real estate agent, and he told the Chronicle in October that the problem with SF housing was a "mansion shortage."

It's sort of interesting how there are no women in this chart.
There are only two ways we ordinary folk can fight this; A) Boycott these platforms, and B) Vote for parties that will heavily tax the rich.

Big Sky, big savings as rich motor through a loophole
Luxury car buyers in California and other states wanting their fancy ride but not wanting to pay sales taxes turn to Montana, -- which has no sales or personal property tax.
They register the car there, which they can do from anywhere with paperwork, and bring it back to their home state.
The Montana detour has become a well-known path for the rich to save some money on their Maybach and Maserati.
But California i…

Mayoral appointee is only D4 candidate not to oppose mayor’s tax cut on rich real estate investors.
Great answers from the others. Greco and Gee are the ones I’m most aligned with overall, but on this question Lee and Chow are strong too—all 4 defending the will of the voters to put this money toward affordable housing. Love to see it

Meet the District 4 candidates: Should S.F. cut real estate transfer tax?
Mayor Lurie says the BUILD Act will incentivize more housing construction. All but one of District 4 supervisor candidates are against it.

It always starts with talk about millionaires and billionaires and ends with a 36% unrealized gains tax on the handful of assets you bought to try and get a stake in the economy and claw your way out of financial insecurity and maybe be able to retire some day. Meanwhile, the unfathomably rich remain forever unfathomably rich. These people are the allies of capital, and creators of a permanently dependent underclass. They do this to ensure there is always a job for them. If they really cared…

US conservatives always talk about the good old days and seem to want to go back to society as it existed in the 1950s. To me there's some irony there, considering the fact that the top income tax bracket was over 90% for that entire decade. It's almost as if taxing the shit out of the rich makes for a growing middle class and overall prosperity.
"But that's not the part of 1950s society we want back! We want the part where women and minorities knew their place!" …

If I were voting today in D4 I'd rank Jeremy Greco first because he's the only pro–Sunset Dunes candidate and seems cool generally; he's a longtime co-op worker at Other Avenues and wants to make it easier to start co-ops.
I'd rank Natalie Gee second. It sucks she wants to turn the park back into a highway, but so do all the non-Jeremy candidates, and she's the only one I trust to tax the rich to build affordable housing.

Meet the District 4 Candidates: What is your No. 1 issue?
Some say the Sunset needs to be more affordable. Some say it needs more police. They all want to be District 4’s next supervisor.

I'm very excited about the Affordable Housing Guarantee Act, filed this week for the November ballot in SF.
The AHGA will bring in an estimated $500m a year over the next five years for affordable housing and homelessness prevention, of which between 30% and 55% will go to social housing models.
And with no new tax! It only continues an existing tax on rich real estate investors that Mayor Lurie and Supervisors Dorsey, Mahmood, and Sauter are trying to repeal.

Happy Tax Day, New York. We’re taxing the rich.

At city hall to protest Denim Dan Lurie’s SF Environment budget cuts. But the mayor isn’t here because he’s announcing a tax cut for rich real estate investors. Cutting revenue that could restore his SF Environment cuts over 10x over. #sfpol

It's fun to be actively fighting Bilal Mahmood's legislation that would strip $500 million in voter-approved funds for affordable housing over the next five years, all to give a tax cut to the rich, and see that Garry Tan called Mahmood "too progressive."
The billionaire/VC class in SF are not reasonable people we can work with. They must be defeated.
