Every student deserves a positive learning environment. Today we're launching a letter-writing campaign to tell government that kids deserve to thrive — and that starts in the classroom. Speak up in support of our schools here: https://act.bctf.ca/ittakesateacher/ #ItTakesaTeacher #bcpoli #bced

Meanwhile... Corporate America is being subsidized by taxpayers...

Reminder that the richest 1% of Americans will receive $1 trillion in tax cuts over the next decade, thanks to the tax bill that Trump and Congressional Republicans passed this year. itep.org/top-1-to-rec...

In his new @time.com op-ed, our member Scott Ellis lays out how excessive wealth is warping democracy and how we can fix it by taxing the ultra rich and investing in shared prosperity. Read more ⬇️ time.com/7325632/univ...

People don’t really grasp how much $1B is…you would have to spend $45,662 a day for 60 years to spend $1B. No more billionaires! #inequality #taxwealthnotwork

Still waiting for it to trickle down...

Research shows that #inequality in the U.S. is not dissimilar to like Robin-Hood-era England. That's a problem that needs to be discussed with far more gravity. #EconSky

@garyseconomics.bsky.social it’s working!! Pressure is on! If you succeed in the UK my hope 🙏 is eventually Canada would follow suit. #taxwealthnotwork

Time to deal with the economic bullies that are making life so hard. youtube.com/watch?v=xJtC...

A message to the super rich

Bankrupt countries don't have welfare states. On @lbc.co.uk just now

The amount the wealthy can inherit without paying tax is set to revert to $14M this year, but the recently-passed GOP budget bill hikes the exemption to $30M. Wealthy heirs will enjoy a one-time tax savings of $6.4M, while 99.8% of American families will not get a SINGLE penny.

Millionaires won’t flee if you raise their taxes; that’s a myth that ends up hurting working people in the long run. In this week’s Closer Look, we break down why “tax flight” panic is overblown and why it’s time to build a system that works for everyone. patrioticmillionaires.org/perspectives...

THIS IS WHAT A RIGGED ECONOMY LOOKS LIKE: CEOs made *285 times* MORE than their workers last year. They will also pocket hundreds of thousands in tax cuts thanks to Trump. We need a tax system that values workers, not just yachts and stock options. aflcio.org/paywatch

Our members broke down how special tax breaks for the ultra-rich only deepen inequality. The path forward isn’t complicated: tax the rich and build an economy that works for everyone. Read more here: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

It’s not about working harder, the system is rigged against you. While you are struggling the top 1% are hoarding enormous amounts of wealth. #taxwealthnotwork youtube.com/shorts/j9gh-...

Recycling rates down for the 8th year in a row. Let that sink in. Big polluters are still churning out plastic like there’s no tomorrow, and we’re the ones left picking up the pieces. Time to turn off the tap, not just mop the mess. #PlasticsTreaty

Let’s meet some CanaDads! 🇨🇦

That’s disgusting

One of the most shocking things I have read for a while: t.co/lg46ijHLDF

People who keep saying “what’s his plan? He doesn’t have a plan”… He’s had a plan all long, helping rich people get richer. @mills4humanity.bsky.social @patrioticmillionaires.org @inequality.org #taxtheultrarich #taxwealthnotwork #inequality #econosky

Buying a president is a good investment when the return is so high on the back end. We have to get money out of politics or working people will keep getting SCREWED.

Abigail Disney at @patrioticmillionaires.org: "The men we associate with 'broligarchy' are the emotionally stupid men (Bezos) psychologically underdeveloped men (Zuckerberg) damaged men (Musk) or overindulged & spoiled men Trump. They put more faith in aggression as a means of problem solving."

Very interesting article and makes me even more happy with our medical system, even with wait times. #canada

Oh. It does. 😤

@ctvyourmorning.bsky.social do better! Very disappointing

"If you can think of a better way to transfer billionaire money back to society, I'm all ears." - @thedailyshow.com We can! It's called taxes. Time to shift the power and build a more just society. #MillionairesForHumanity #TaxTheRich #WealthTax

Billionaires’ combined wealth has doubled in just 10 years, skyrocketing 121% from $6.3 trillion in 2015 to $14 trillion in 2024. Meanwhile, workers are left behind with stagnating wages. It’s time for the ultra-rich to pay their fair share. #MFH #WealthTax #TaxTheRich

Finally! The federal government stepping back in and being responsible for housing!!

So, the guy who was gonna end all wars has bombed Yemen, threatened to bomb Iran, and threatened to invade Greenland. Did I get that right?

@garyseconomics.bsky.social have @richardjmurphy.bsky.social on your channel as a guest

Hopeful that @mark-carney.bsky.social has his eye on the long game and thinking about how the USMCA will be renegotiated in 2026.

Another western democracy with a plan that will do nothing to address falling living standards and the increasing inequality gap. Same 💩 over and over. #taxwealthnotwork #inequality #taxreform

@garyseconomics.bsky.social devoured this in 1 day. Amazing how the body will tell you when you are not in alignment with your mind and spirit. However, that part of your journey was necessary to bring you to the important work you are now doing. #booksky #taxwealthnotwork

Tax wealth not work!

Pierre Poilievre has been in politics for 20 years, he's written 0 legislation; has one of the highest pensions in government. He's voted against the environment & climate nearly 400 times, derailed legislation to benefit workers, and voted against affordable housing initiatives.

If Zuckerberg is pissed off about this book (Careless People), I definitely want to read it! And if you don’t know who Gary Stevenson is yet @garyseconomics.bsky.social you’re going to want to start here with his book or visit his YouTube channel. #econsky #booksky
