When a rich person earns millions you don't want them to try earn more money.
Because they don't earn more money by working, they earn it by underpaying workers and ripping off customers.
If taxing them raises money, increases wages and lowers prices.
It's a win, win, win.

The world wasn't perfect in the 50's, 60's and 70's but it was a hell of a lot better than it is now.
The world has been sliding into Fascism for 50 years and now it is here, everything is privatised, everything is terrible, everything is unaffordable.
And Nazis are in charge.

We need to get our arms out of the US machine. Regulate US companies out of our countries. It’s as big a security threat as Russia.
NEW: last night, the US govt launched an assault on the ‘global censorship industrial complex’, aka European tech researchers/campaigners.
It’s a deeply chilling move & speaks as to why we need international solidarity more than ever.
