Nieuw onderzoek: Gezamenlijke vermogen van de bijna 500 EU-miljardairs groeide in slechts zes maanden met meer dan €400 miljard. Meer dan €2 miljard per dag. Toch wordt meer dan 80% van de belastinginkomsten in EU-landen door gewone mensen betaald. #TaxTheRich www.oxfamnovib.nl/persberichte...

Wait...is Trump actually trying to tax the wealthy? In a word "No". This excellent blog from @oxfamamerica.bsky.social explains in detail how this is a very small measure made to distract from bigger tax cuts for the wealthiest. Read more ⬇️

Poverty is not inevitable; it's a systemic failure we can and must overcome. Millionaires for Humanity believe this is possible, and we're committed to building a society that eradicates poverty for good. Let's create a legacy worthy of such a museum. #wealthtax #taxtherich

April 7 was #WorldHealthDay with a focus on women’s health and well-being. Underfunding of health services disproportionately impacts women & girls. That’s why the Fair Tax Monitor works with a #gender lens providing guidance for tax policies that work better for gender equality. Find out more 👇

Did you know that America’s 800+ billionaires hold more wealth than the 66 million households that make up the bottom half of the country? But, because of the way our tax code is structured, they somehow manage to pay lower tax rates than working people. So yeah... #TaxTheRich.

100 billionaire families poured a record total of $2.6 billion into the 2024 elections. Read that sentence again. If you’re wondering why public policies tend to reflect the interests and preferences of the ultra-wealthy, there’s your answer. americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaires...

According to Forbes’ Annual Billionaires List, there are now a record 3,028 billionaires worth a combined $16.1 trillion. Would you believe us if we told you that Elon Musk tops the list? Because you should. Because he does. www.forbes.com/billionaires/

The wealthiest 1% own nearly half of all global wealth, while millions struggle. A wealth tax can fund schools, healthcare, and more, leveling the playing field. It’s time to close loopholes and make the ultra-rich pay their fair share. Are you with us? #TaxTheRich #WealthTax

How can #Europe secure the resources for a safer, more resilient future? 🤔 💡A minimum tax on the super-rich can help. A 2% tax could generate €67 billion—covering a quarter of the increase in defense spending that may be needed. Read more in our note: www.taxobservatory.eu/publication/...

The #TaxOurWealth tour continues today starting with Great Yarmouth. Clacton, we’ll see you this afternoon. No more cuts. For a better Britain, we want MPs to listen and tax the richest people like us. It’s the patriotic thing to do 🇬🇧

Opnieuw een nietszeggende lijst waarop belangrijke belastingparadijzen ontbreken. Ondertussen blijven grote bedrijven en de allerrijksten deze landen gebruiken om te voorkomen dat zij hun eerlijke bijdrage betalen. Tijd dat er echt werk wordt gemaakt om belastingontwijking tegen te gaan. #taxtherich

If you needed more proof that giving outsized political power to billionaires is a bad idea, the richest man in the world is riding roughshod over the federal government with seemingly no oversight, creating a new center of power in Washington and further endangering our democracy:

More taxes on American workers and their benefits is not the answer. As the GOP scrambles to preserve the tax breaks they gave the ultra-wealthy in 2017, they've repeatedly shown they'll break as many eggs as needed for their gold-plated omelet. www.cnbc.com/2025/02/02/t...

🚨 U.S. leaves the UN Tax Treaty negotiations, but the process continues Yesterday, after a morning of countries committing to international tax cooperation, the U.S. walked out of the #UNTaxConvention negotiations. 📰 Read GATJ's reaction here: bit.ly/4hKLJCr

"The rich grow richer and the gap with ordinary people keeps widening. Wealth and power are becoming concentrated in the hands of a few people, a small elite that prioritizes their wealth over the well being of ordinary citizens." - @fatihassane.bsky.social

Extreme wealth is not accumulated simply as a reward for extreme talent, regardless of the popularity of “rags-to-riches" stories. In fact, more new #billionaires got rich in 2023 through inheritance than entrepreneurship.

Today, all the countries of the world are starting to negotiate a new international tax system at the @un.org. Why is this urgent? Here's @icrict.bsky.social's analysis of the tax framework convention & protocols. shorturl.at/y4z0d
