@spyflynews @owenjonesjourno @GPMobilisation taxing the wealthy to pay for everyone else is the delusion of zero-sum Malthusian dupes. The reality is that if governments back off, lower taxation, and let markets roll free, wealth generation will be democratized. Governments shield corporations from competition.

Wealth taxes in Norway, Spain, Switzerland & Colombia prove the downsides: Norway lost 300+ multimillionaires post-hikes (GDP drag), Spain sees huge avoidance, all four suffer capital flight, sky-high admin costs & low revenue. Punishes entrepreneurs on paper gains & distorts investment. Most countries scrapped them for a reason.

It’s time to tax wealth. For justice, for the economy, for democracy. An honour to speak at @GPMobilisation. Let’s take the fight to the far right

@owenjonesjourno @GPMobilisation I don't want other peoples money, I just want to be able to generate my own with minimal government interference in my business. We need more competition, not more taxes.

@tetsuoai integrate uploadable reference audio and I'm in

good morning, 𝕏 the audio in Grok Imagine is getting scary good the audio is clean, full, and present. even the mouth shapes are landing dead-on insanely strong for a current-gen ai talking-head 🤯

@Saltytattoomom taxing particular classes of income earners, particularly, the wealthy, is a bad idea, it results in capital flight and many unintended consequences to the market simple infographic to help those struggling with this concept

$5 BILLION problem… $500 MILLION solution. Yeah… the math ain’t mathing. #NYC #RealEstate #Economics

@adammocklerr demagogues always peddle these "tax the rich" schemes, but they never work out why? see below 👇

🚨 Democrats are COOKING Republicans!

@AveryDaye send this to all your idealistic friends who think taxation is the answer to wealth "inequality"

Mamdani proposes a pied-à-terre tax, which would essentially double the property tax for those with a second home valued over $5M in the city. This is a false promise. It's a lie. Taxing the rich never works. The government has a spending problem, not a revenue problem. When they use “tax the rich” as an excuse to increase spending, and then the rich leave, they will not scale back spending. Instead, the burden shifts to the middle class, until everyone is equally poor and government corruption thrives. Somehow through all of this, the government officials all get rich. Mamdani is selling a lie. Don't be stupid enough to fall for it.

@thisplace5ucks @ramit interesting thing that, the tax savey wealthy actually never sell their investments, they take loans and deduct the interest paid against their income! THE PLEBS WILL NEVER CONTROL THE PATRICIANS

@ramit You don’t get it, their crypto the bought fives years ago on Robinhood is going to put them in that tax bracket soon. Just watch

Men earning $52K/year, struggling with gas prices, posting multiple comments furiously defending billionaires against a tax on their $5+ million NYC pied-à-terres

@ramit I think you can understand it this way @ramit

@ClintavoCreates @ryderkessler capital flight is a real risk

@ryderkessler “Let’s incentivize everyone who actually pays taxes to leave.” To the productive and rich: y’all welcome here in Texas. There’s a reason 158 financial firms have left wall street for Florida or Texas in the past few years taking all those tax revenues away from NYC.

Let’s tax empty second homes in NYC even if they’re only worth ~ a few million dollars ~ and not just $5M+ And let’s disincentivize keeping homes off the market amid a record low vacancy rate and housing affordability crisis even if the owner’s primary residence is also in NY.

@NYCMayor all wars waste, but not all wars are a waste

We are spending at least $500 million a day to bomb Iran. Imagine how many teachers we could hire, how many public housing units we could build, how many bridges and roads we could fix, if we spent that kind of money on improving life for working people?

@higgsfield and how much credits, or $s, does this cost? like $1,000 for 23 minutes???

We just made a 23-MINUTE sci-fi pilot in 4 days. And it is 100% AI.

@jacksonhinklle calling China communist is a misnomer, it's a hybrid system just like the USA, albeit a one-party state.

🇨🇳 If Communism doesn't work, then why is China so advanced?

@TheLastHopeUSA @jacksonhinklle if we call China communist, we must also call the US communist, for in the USA many enterprises are state run and controlled.

China isn't communist—it's state capitalism with CCP authoritarian control. Mao's pure communism brought famine & stagnation. Deng's 1978 reforms ditched it for private enterprise, foreign investment, markets, & profit motives. Skyscrapers & growth? From capitalist tools, not collective farms. CCP rules politically, but economy runs on competition & billionaires—not Marx.

@TheLastHopeUSA @jacksonhinklle calling China "communist" is a misnomer, it is politically a mono-party state, economically a hybrid of socialism and capitalism. See my infographic

@Cynlixal @_zeke1 @ZacksJerryRig 🤣find it somewhere else online you won't

@PercepTeck @_zeke1 @ZacksJerryRig Nga you did not make this

Heck yeah - make it national

@jt0hny interesting how people go from one cult to another, this "prosperity gospel" not Christianity

Nala Ray speaks about how much money she owes the IRS and how it doesn’t affect her 💀 “ I demand in the name of Jesus that you move . These numbers on a page have no authority over me “

@JClevemon @MatrixMysteries exactly, there is ZERO, I repeat 0, profit incentive when it comes to government functions. The only incentive that exists is spend as much of the public treasury on things you want "for the community" i.e. your cronies, and make sure you take a fat sack of cash with you.

Is EVERYONE GAMING THE SYSTEM? YES. This is complete BS. This OT scam is happening everywhere.. Call in sick and get your sick pay, your buddy fills in while getting OT. In two weeks, he calls out sick gets his sick pay and the other gets his OT No PRIVATE COMPANY would allow this but because it’s taxpayers’ money, it’s not a problem.

An LA detective’s pay was revealed. “$343,000 a YEAR.” Base: $146K. Overtime: $178K. Other: $18K. For ONE detective. Taxpayers are getting destroyed by Democrats.

@ZacksJerryRig so this @kazcooledoff guy does a hit and run, blocks me no dialogue, just emotions

@ZacksJerryRig if you tax the wealthy, they will only find ways to either avoid taxation i.e. expatriation, or they will add additional fees to their products and services i.e. increased consumer costs either way, the people at the bottom will lose if redistribution schemes are attempted

@ZacksJerryRig an explanation I made concerning why taxing "the rich" or "corporations" is an impoverishing economic platform

@ZacksJerryRig I don’t see you donating your millions.
