If you haven't seen politizane's 2013 video on #wealth #inequality in America, it's been updated for 2026, and is being followed up by three new videos, the last of which comes out on September 30. The first two new videos are out, on #income inequality. As a Georgist, allow me to point out that we already know the solution, because Henry George wrote all about it in "Progress and Poverty", all the way back in 1879. #USpol #VTpol

Billionaire Cheater Steve Ballmer: “At His Level of Wealth, Societal Ethics No Longer Register” A finance expert and Fortune 500 therapist examine the potential motivations of billionaire cheater Steve Ballmer and his subordinates. Unsurprisingly, people who have enough money to do literally anything they want do not evaluate risk the same way as the rest of us. Just another sign that wealth hoarding is a mental illness, imo.

As many are priced out of buying, the renter-owner wealth gap is wider than ever

An open letter signed by 120 millionaires asked the new Prime Minister today to increase their taxes, joining the public in their demands to ensure “extreme wealth is taxed fairly to reduce inequality both at home and abroad... We’re not talking about higher taxes on those who get up and go to work for their income every day, but on the very richest whose income is derived from the wealth they hold,” Organised by the Patriotic Millionaires UK group, they called on Mr Burnham to help Britain “succeed,” adding: “Success requires investment and a primary source of untouched capital investment is sitting with us, in untaxed potential....Paying your fair share is a basic British value, but so many ordinary people are already paying more than they can afford. ...To live up to our national values our new government must raise taxes on extreme levels of wealth for a fairer, better, more hopeful Britain.” https://morningstaronline.co.uk/article/we-can-afford-it-britain-based-millionaires-tell-burnham-tax-us-more #Wealth #UKpolitics
