You can stop them. They don’t control democracy … yet.

Friendly reminder that Spain is one of the few countries with a wealth tax. That’s why they are economically prospering right now.

Taxing the rich works!

Surprisingly cheap. That’s just the equivalent of 1-2 houses to buy the entire country.

It’s oversimplified on purpose. The message needs to be crystal clear, and it needs to be repeated so often that no politician can go into a Talkshow without having to explain themselves why they are not taxing the rich.

This is the only way to make progress here as a society. You need broad support here.

Having said that, I actually, earnestly believe that taxing the rich is a prerequisite to

• solving climate change
• having a working government
• reestablishing the social fabric of our society
• etc.

If you are curious to learn more how this is backed up by data, you can eg. read „toxisch reich“ by Sebastian Klein (unfortunately only available in German I think)

The reason is simple: Neither the center left nor the center right are delivering for the broad human populace. They both protect the ultra rich by not taxing them, which in turn creates a redistribution of wealth from the poor, the middle class AND the state to the ultra rich.

On a basal level, everyone understands that the economic status quo can not continue. Living standards continue to fall regardless of who is in power, and so it is inevitable that people will demand some sort of drastic change.

The loudest voice promising change is the alt right.

The second loudest voice is us, taxing the rich. It must be done, and we need to do all we can to become the loudest voice. We have several more years until the elections in eg. UK and Germany. Let’s do it. Let’s tax the rich.

There are two types of right wingers; the ones that are too stupid or too lazy to understand what they are doing; And the ones that know EXACTLY what they are doing.

The latter ones are the kinds of Weidel, Spahn, Thiel, etc.
