Wealth tax is very popular across voters. Now is the time to push for it.

1. Zack doesn’t have to be elected to push the Overton window on this. Look at what Farage accomplished over the last years, and he got his first MP, when, a year ago or so?

2. we need to be compassionate with each other. Remember that reform voters get propaganda served all day every day, and so it’s natural for them to accept it at some point. Don’t hate the people for it when they can barely feed their kids.

3. the right has a very compelling story: your living conditions are bad because of the foreigners. They keep telling that story again and again, and on a superficial level it seems to make sense. We need an alternative, positive story that is forward looking. How do we want our future to look like?

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.
