We aren’t jealous that some people are rich. We’re angry that some people make themselves insanely wealthy by shortchanging workers, cutting corners in ways that hurt people and the planet, and by buying politicians to rewrite the rules in their favor. There’s a big difference.
The world's billionaires now hold a combined $14.2 trillion in assets. That exceeds the GDP of every country in the world except the US and China. And we’re supposed to believe the ultra-wealthy can’t afford a wealth tax?
813 U.S. billionaires hold more wealth than half of American households. If that doesn’t tell you we’re in a second Gilded Age, I don’t know what will. It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the First Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back. Watch.
Foundations set up by the excessively #rich are increasing #charity loopholes. 💸 Learn more: excessivewealth.org
"There is a limit after which increased #wealth creates more harm than good."
Charitable giving reform is a critical antidote to #wealth #inequality. That’s why we're hosting a summit on 4/30 to promote equitable & responsible #philanthropy + develop strategies to ensure charitable giving benefits those in need: bit.ly/EWDiSummit
Billionaires shouldn't pay less tax in relative terms than the working class — this is a no-brainer, a political head-nodding issue par excellence. ips-journal.eu/topics/future-…

Addressing wealth inequality requires a combination of policies aimed at redistributing wealth, promoting economic opportunity, & addressing systemic barriers to social mobility.
Widening wealth inequality can erode trust in institutions such as government, corporations, and financial systems. This can lead to decreased confidence in the fairness of the system...
Growing disparities in wealth distribution can erode trust in political institutions and exacerbate polarization. This can lead to increased political instability, and challenges to democratic governance.
If the wealth gap continues to widen without appropriate intervention, it can have significant and far-reaching consequences on society, the economy, and individual well-being.
Transparency is crucial for a charity to maintain trust with donors. If a #charity is not transparent about how donations are being used or fails to provide clear financial reports, it raises suspicions.
Some charities may misuse donations for purposes other than what they were intended for, such as extravagant salaries for staff, excessive administrative costs, or even personal enrichment of those in charge.

America's 813 billionaires now collectively hold a record $5.8 trillion. That’s more than the wealth of the entire bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households. It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

Treasury and IRS released new data on the IRS's Direct File Pilot for the 2024 filing season. The program received positive user feedback, saved participants an estimated $5.6M in tax preparation fees and helped taxpayers access over $90M in refunds. home.treasury.gov/news/press-rel…

Closing just one loophole that allows hedge fund managers to pay a lower tax rate than working families would raise $6.5 BILLION. That's $6.5 billion we could invest in working people, instead of mega-yachts for Wall Street plutocrats. Close the carried interest loophole.

What has the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation done for you in the time of COVID19? Nothing? Perhaps taxing the shit out of billionaires is better than relying on the tender mercies of breadcrumb philanthropy.

Billionaire philanthropy is a scam, they own millions of hectares of land in Africa & call it conservation philanthropy. This is biz & greed dashed with racism. 10 UHNW families across USA & Europe are working with Paul Milton to pocket 10 million hectares in SA,Zim,& Bots.
Billionaire philanthropy is a PR scam for the rich to get more richer.
