People defending BILLIONAIRES online… are you ok?
Myth check 👇
1. “They earned it.” Often built on underpaid labour, weakened worker protections, aggressive tax avoidance and environmental harm pushed onto communities. No one EARNS a billion.
2. “They’ll leave if taxed.” They don’t. Most extreme wealth is tied to assets, markets and infrastructure, and countries with fair wealth taxes still host large numbers of millionaires and billionaires.
Meanwhile billionaire wealth is up 81% since 2020, while one in four people don’t have enough to eat and nearly half the world lives in poverty. (source @oxfaminternational)
Does this look like a system that actually works?
Time to tax extreme wealth so we can fund healthcare, education, public services, and a fair, green transition for all.
