Boomers are the wealthiest generation in history. They live in homes they bought for three nickels. They extract $40k from the youth every year in welfare, and they already saddled our generation with $37T in debt. Now they want to get rid of the only tax they have left.

His biggest piece of advice to Australians?
"If you are going to give your natural resources to private companies, you should make sure that you get a phenomenally good deal & you should be taking a big share of the profits"

1 in 3 Aussie workers under 30 is exploited, underpaid by ~40%.
How can we have serious conversation about productivity or living standards when so many businesses and so much of the economy quite literally rests on this exploitation.
Customers getting a shirt should pay for it.
Customers getting a lamp should pay for it.
Customers using internet service should pay for it.
Ok. How about... 🥁🥁🥁
Customers using car infrastructure should pay for it.
Land is by far the #1 source of wealth and poverty — of rising net worths and rising costs — in our economy.
Even if we taxed away every billionaire's wealth, it won't come close to fixing the cost of housing.

The whole wealth tax debate is missing a big point
Not all wealth is the same. Stocks, gold, or yachts don't affect your cost of living.
Land does—we all need it to live. No other wealth tax will restore affordability.
This debate needs an update 🧵
“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children. With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers to act.” Via @carltonreid in @Forbes.
Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.

David Pocock has slammed the Labor government’s “secrecy” after they provided redacted documents to the #Senate
“Look at these fully redacted pages!
What on earth is this? What are these documents?”💥
@larsiusprime It's a doubly bad idea at state level, because interstate competition is higher. People can and will move but houses can't, which makes property/land tax ideal in those circumstances.
So You Want to Abolish Property Taxes
Republicans have been talking about abolishing property taxes. This is a bad idea.
It undermines economic growth and housing affordability. We’ve already run this experiment and know where it leads: California-style de-growth death spiral.
