Q🧵2/2
Why aren’t the government taking the tax benefits
away from the 1% of the population that are
unemployed multimillionaires
& using it instead 2 support the 99% of
population in full-time employment
who are partially reliant on social security to survive healthily?

A simple question?
part 1 of 2 🧵
Given that 99% of multimillionaires
worth over £25,000,000
are unemployed
& that 99% of people
in full time employment,
working on national minimum wage,
so earning less than £25,000
need state aid to survive

Our new Honest Government Ad 🇲🇲 is out and it features a very special guest actor: her name is Ingyin Hlaing Hlaing and she is a refugee from the 2021 military coup in Myanmar. If you already know about the conflict in Myanmar, you'll appreciate how brave it is of her to front this video. And If you don't, then this HGA will give you a good overview in under 5 minutes!

Buy land,
because they’ve stopped making it
#LandTax
“more and more of it
will just be scooped up
by investors
because
land rents
continue to be
the best source
of wealth
from
other people's work.”
#UBi & #WealthTax could
make life better

Possibly the simplest explanation of why everyone needs a #UniversalBasicIncome
Poverty is caused by lack of money
to even buy food & shelter
Billionaires are caused by having so much money that they can’t spend it
& are able to save it
& it earns even more by doing nothing
⬇️
4 Jun 2024
If a universal basic income of $15,000 a year would cause everyone to stop working, why is anyone currently earning over $15,000 a year? If you're reading this and have a higher income than $15k, why are you doing that? Reduce your hours and enjoy the sweet $15k lifestyle.

If the rich don’t want to pay for their ongoing share
of everything that society has provided for so far?
“…mayor said that
the fire department can't let homeowners pay the fee on the spot,
because the only people who would pay
would be those whose homes are on fire”

B: yeah, but we're miles away... that would ruin us
M: my point is sometimes taxes are good. I don't like taxes, but your pay per use idea doesn't work at all in the real world
B: ok but that's just roads, what about other services?
M: my dude...

“The conclusion is that households changed their behaviour,
eating less food,
or switching to lower quality food,
whilst still spending more.”
Quite an achievement for the UK government
#UBi #CostOfLivingCrisis
4 Dec 2023
Nationally, household food expenditure rose by £5.1bn (17.4%) in nominal terms. By contrast, real expenditure on food fell by 5.8%.
The conclusion is that households changed their behaviour, eating less food, or switching to lower quality food, whilst still spending more.

Very interesting🧵about water monopolies
Average profit could be around 35%
Possibly £ 0 overall investment by shareholders
Loans massive cost/profit?
Should lenders take loss on their bad loans
or should UK government take all the risk and bail them out?
UK unique in world?
29 Jun 2023
The net result is that of the £89.8bn invested, customers or borrowing of various sorts provided £89.8bn of the funding meaning the shareholders effectively made no investment in the assets of these businesses, at all.

At least parody

“We realise that this might discourage many of you from attending any #protest ever again

that’s precisely the intent”
Why don’t Govm’t of

The South Australien Government has made an ad about its new anti-protest legislation, and it’s surprisingly honest and informative

In response government’s

For too long well qualified experts on panels

Deadline: 7 July. Please spread the word!

although the scope of arrangements that are reportable in the UK has reduced significantly as a result of the 29-12-20 UK Regulations
…
we expect that LPP will prevent a lawyer who has advised a client about a reportable cross-border arrangement from making a report under DAC 6
And this government has made it easier for tax evasion to go undetected. Another Brexit benefit!

Does anybody know which news channel this expert was interviewed on?
Seems like a very clear and honest explanation of the government’s #NHSPrivatisation policy
But I don’t understand who else it would benefit, unless the government are hiding their connections or something

Interesting to see why the government want to pretend that they’re re innocent
They could have been honest
& saved enough to pay
& prevent all strikes
But they prefer to line their donors’ pockets
& make the voters pay for the profits

I don’t know if there is a moral to any of this… except maybe that you should always pay extra for the full loft survey when buying a new house… especially if you plan on hiding your lover in there for the next ten years.
