The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.
A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!
#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.
UBI isn’t about making life “too easy.” It’s about making sure life isn’t unnecessarily cruel.
There are enough issues in the world today that we don't need to add financial insecurity to it.
Also, struggle isn’t noble. Suffering isn’t a character test. Fairness means giving everyone the chance to thrive, not just survive.
And you deserve that chance. You deserve #UBI 
Remember, you are not alone in wanting a better world and #UBI 
There are plenty of people out there who think like you and who also take action. Take action with us and vote for people who want the same future that you want.

#TaxTheRich #TaxWealth #cuts
38 DegreesTax the super rich to stop cuts to public servicesAcross the UK, living standards are falling and millions live in poverty, while the cost of living crisis has made affording the basics difficult. Public services we all rely on - our hospitals, schools, councils, childcare, public transport and social security - have been decimated after a decade of cuts. And now the Government could be looking to cut them even further, after slashing the lifesaving international aid budget.
It doesn’t have to be this way. The Government could find the...
The economy is supposedly doing well, but your #paycheck isn’t. #Billionaires add millions to their wealth every day, but you’re told to “just work harder.”
What if the problem isn’t you? What if the #system is designed to keep people struggling? What if billionaires and corporations were taxed the same way you are?
#UBI shifts the balance. It gives power back to #people instead of #corporations
In case you wanted to look at the results of the #GiveDirectly #UniversalBasicIncome from 2023 study yourself:
"Early findings from the world’s largest #UBI study"
"Both a large lump sum and a long-term UBI proved highly effective. The lump sum enabled big investments and the guarantee of 12 years of UBI encouraged savings and risk-taking."
GiveDirectly · Early findings from the world’s largest UBI study | GiveDirectlyMoney always helps, but for the poorest, one large lump sum can last a long time. A long-term universal basic income also looks promising.
'The extreme concentration of the world's money is suddenly frightening at a time of intense political chaos'
Mainline french paper
It is a growing world consensus we have allowed financial concentration 
as acute as a brain aneurysm.

In world finance, the concentrated wealth isn't the "size of a berry" - it's the size of the brain.
“There’s only one zero-sum game we need to play, & at speed, we either demand that wealth is taxed to resolve the multiple crises of our time, or wealth will rule us all.“

It’s ruling us, killing us, inflicting austerity, poverty, inflicting wars upon us.
Their Economic Growth is our climate breakdown, & nature’s collapse; positive future for our children & future generations.
It’s obvious #TaxWealth Globally, and fund global wellbeing economics. #WellbeingEconomy

Democracies that developed over centuries out of feudalism and conflict are being dismantled at speeds we can’t grasp. We must tax the rich as a matter of urgency.

Labour's odd economic police:
"Oh yes billionaires stole hundreds of billions from you personally. Yes Billionaires also stole hundreds of billions from your democracy, but we are letting them keep those stolen billions, and we'll pretend the victims are naturally poor, not crime victims.
We think making poor people pay for being victims of billionaire theft is fair."
Autumn 2024 Budget consultation closes at midnight. Have your say!
Tax the rich, wealthy and greedy. Properly fund public services like our #NHS and a social safety net that doesn't leave people using #foodbanks or #homeless

Billionaires bought these news stations to propagandize against democracy, to join Trump's Coup.
CNN was blatant, just DAYS after brilliantly covering the Jan 6th Congressional Investigation, a billionaire bought it, and gelded it like a stallion.
CNN will have no foals. Will tell truths by accident, will lie and cover-up, and normalize hate, normalize the coup, normalize the fascist threat.
HMRC haven’t charged a single company with tax avoidance despite new powers.
British Overseas Territories have failed to report firms using them as tax havens.
Two thirds of the the UK's richest earners paid less tax in 2023 than in the year before, while our hospitals and schools crumble and we bear an increasing tax burden.
It’s time for the Treasury and HMRC to get tough on the tax avoiders, so we can save our NHS and public services.
