Explain how taxing successful people’s wealth will make less fortunate people better off? Economies thrive as wealth expands. Wealth is created, it isn’t finite. It’s not like the government are going to take it from wealthy person A, then hand it to poorer person B. The government soends over £2Trillion every single year. Taxing peoples wealth isn’t going to help anything. It isn’t going to deceease the deficit. All it will do is make everyone equally as poor, whilst inflating the size & power of the government, and surely we can all agree that’s the last thing anyone wants? People arent poor because other people are wealthy. This is a fundamental flaw in the lefts understanding of “wealth”.

75% of Brits agree that it's time for us to tax wealth. Let's get it done and build a fairer economy, reduce inequality and let the British working class prosper.

They still need to pay the loans back. They’ve all paid more tax than you will 1000x over in your entire life. You could remortgage your house and do the exact same thing. What would you say if a homeless man said: “That’s not fair! You own a house and I don’t. You should have to pay tax on the value of your house every year because I don’t have one” None of that tax money is going to make the homeless man better off. It just makes you poorer, and gives more money to the government to waste.

@flyundernoflag @garyseconomics What don't you understand about this - they borrow against the value of their assets, where's a taxable event triggered in that scenario?

Working people are paying 50% tax while some billionaires pay nothing

64-65% of homes are privately owned by the average citizen. 19% are privately rented. 16% are social/council housing. Less than 1% are owned by the “rich” corporate or foreign entities. Increasing population, and lack of building due to regulations/planning, along with inflation, are the main causes of this. Not because “the rich” are buying them all..

@alexmoran @Restore_Conwy @garyseconomics housing and especially land are the problems here. inelastic supply.

There's a difference between normal people spending money and really rich people spending money. And it explains why our economy is failing.

@AfcWill10 @Restore_Conwy @garyseconomics Which assets exactly are you referring to? Have the rich people bought all the Freddo’s and that’s why they’re 35p and not 5p anymore?

@Restore_Conwy @garyseconomics Rich spending = buying assets, inflating prices. Normal spending = rent, food, bills — real demand. Same pound, opposite effect on the economy.

@AfcWill10 @Restore_Conwy @garyseconomics Inflation inflates prices.

@AynSocial @Restore_Conwy @garyseconomics Oh my. Someone has been brainwashed.

@Restore_Conwy @garyseconomics Says the c*nt from Restore! 😤 You're even more extreme than Reform & dear lord that takes some doing! Hell, your more extreme right wing than the actual f*ckin Nazis! 🤬 Now sling yer hook & do one! Tw@t! 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

@garyseconomics I N F L A T I O N. When governments print more money, money becomes less valuable, which means assets are worth more money. Not because of anyone spending money. You could tax every “rich” person fucking 80% of their wealth and it’s not going to fix the economy, is it?

@garyseconomics At this point I’m convinced you’re just trolling, or rage baiting, for engagement.

Britain is finished

For most of my professional life, I have been connected to agriculture. First I farmed. Then I financed farming — including building what became Europe's largest milk producer. Here is how I see it. A company produces milk and lists its shares on an exchange. Someone buys those shares, believing people drink milk and will drink more of it. Someone else buys the milk itself. If milk becomes unaffordable, sales collapse and the company goes bankrupt. So the company prices its milk above cost — but low enough that people can still buy it. Meanwhile, trading happens on the exchange. Small parcels of shares change hands. The price of the very last trade — even if it involved a single share — becomes the quote you see. And through speculation, that quote rises fivefold. Does this mean I, as a co-founder, could sell 5% of the company at that price without crashing it? No. Does it mean milk got five times more expensive and less affordable? Also no. So what does it mean? Three things. First: someone made modest money speculating with a small block of shares. Second: I acquired "wealth" that exists only on paper. It bought me nothing. I hold the same shares, sold none of them, and received nothing to spend. Third: a monetary bubble keeps inflating. The money printed by the Fed and the Bank of England — and multiplied by commercial banks through fractional-reserve lending (the Fed cut reserve requirements to zero in 2020; the Bank of England never had binding ones at all) — hangs over the economy like a giant sack. If a large share of this empty money, backed by no goods — no milk, no grain, no circuit boards, no wrenches — were not absorbed by stock speculation and real estate, it would instantly turn into consumer inflation. The economy's problems are not the mythical "rich getting richer." They are two things: we produce fewer goods than we could, thanks to a pile of absurd regulations. And fiat money is printed in enormous quantities, warping every market it touches. But that is too complicated, or too unpleasant, to accept. Blaming the rich is easier.

🚨 BREAKING: WESTMINSTER DEMOCRACY HAS OFFICIALLY COLLAPSED. You do not have to be a fan of Nigel Farage to see how incredibly corrupt our political system has become under Labour. Farage has just resigned his seat in Parliament to trigger an immediate "people versus the establishment" by-election in Clacton. The press conference he just gave exposed a terrifying level of state and media corruption. He revealed how the establishment media literally targeted his family by publishing his daughter's home address, exposing her to targeted harassment. He faces daily death threats that the police completely ignore, all while the state quietly slashed his security funding by 70%. 💷 Even worse, he exposed how the Labour uniparty keeps changing the election and donation rules just to crush their political rivals. This is not a democracy. This is a system where the ruling party uses the state, the media, and two-tier policing to intimidate and silence anyone who opposes them. If they can use these authoritarian tactics against a prominent MP, they can do it to any everyday citizen who dares to speak out. RT to expose this corrupt Labour regime and demand our country back! 🔁🇬🇧🔥

I can’t let this go unchallenged. That young man was, in my opinion and based on the video below, the clear victim of an assault. The video shows, for reasons that are entirely beyond my comprehension, the officer steaming directly into the victim. The officer made no effort to prevent the attack or apprehend the men who had just administered the violence. What I see in the video is the officer using speed and aggression at the moment of peak danger and confusion against the victim. The victim then controls himself the moment he realises it is now a police officer attacking him and not one of the multiple men who were attacking him a fraction of a second earlier. In my opinion Birmingham Police should drop the charges against this young man and ask the officer why she went for the victim on the ground and not the attackers!

@MrZincx @andrearslanian I forgot the actual market was closed today and just thought the IB slept in for work

@andrearslanian Without the manipulation the market moves so smooth

“Don’t trade on bank holidays” Somehow I do best on Bank Holdiays when there is no manipulation. The stat for today: 13 of the last 15 market days before July 4th have closed green. +200 points overnight.

The world needs more Musks

The BBC has issued an official explanation on why it has failed to cover our rape gang inquiry. 'Complex choices' are made for editorial and practical reasons. These choices 'should not be taken as indicative of bias.' Their words. But the BBC were very quick to cover malicious complaints against our inquiry, in an attempt to smear our efforts? They were then forced to later apologise about how they covered the story. So either the inquiry is worth reporting on, or it's not. They can't pick and choose. We're told 'complex choices' are made, meaning that efforts to uncover the industrial rape of young girls is not near the top of list. Let's take a look at a few stories on the main BBC news page, right now... 'Osaka pays 'love and respect to Japan' in Wimbledon kimono' 'Why £15 durians are being sold at half price - or given away for free' 'We had packed lunches every day for 10 years and retired at 40' Are these stories more important than the rape gang inquiry? I think not. You cannot hate the BBC enough. I expect no fair coverage from them, I've stopped expecting it. But the BBC is funded by the British people. Their continued suppression of our inquiry is a disgrace.

Happy birthday to Elon Musk. Freedom lovers appreciate you mate. Thank you for fighting for us all, for humanity, against the darkness. Billions of us are behind you, rooting for you all the way.

@sp4rkl3jumpr0p3 Neither will economic suicide, nor higher taxes, to fund the UK's Net Zero target.

UK getting air conditioning won't prevent wildfires, won't prevent drought, won't prevent crop failures, won't prevent wildlife die-off, won't prevent our energy infrastructure from overheating and failing, and ultimately won't prevent the global catastrophe that is coming for us

Serious question. Why do politicians push mass immigration when it’s clearly unpopular?
