Fairer taxes can help us build a brighter future.

A future where inequality is in retreat; where we’re tackling environmental breakdown; where our public services are properly funded to serve us well and our democracy is thriving. I’ve written more on our vision for a fairer tax system and why it matters here:

RT @CoopParty: Is the money you pay in council tax ending up hidden in offshore tax havens?

Call on Michael Gove to change the law and give Councils the legal power to stop taxpayer money ending up hidden offshore👇#FairTax https://party.coop/council-tax-havens?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=counciltaxhavens0623_tw

"A 2% #tax on assets above £10m held by all members of the Sunday Times rich list could raise as much as £22bn, according to analysis by Tax Justice UK, the Economic Change Unit and the New Economics Foundation (NEF).

The campaigners said similar wealth taxes in Norway, Spain and Switzerland had helped to reduce #inequality and eased the #CostOfLivingCrisis for some of the poorest people in those countries."

I'm tired of seeing people grossly mischaracterize (i.e. lie) about what I and others believe.

So let's set the record straight!

As much as I agree with Neal Lawson, I think this ship has sailed and the Labour Party is no longer the answer to an alternative vision eg #FairTax #PR #Public Ownership of vital services; to name a few vital changes desperately needed.

Very bleak as the Tories are so dangerous.

Don't fall for this. It's a scam to liberate corporations and the mega rich from taxation and putting the burden on everyone else --> "A 30% national sales tax? Abolishing the IRS? What the FairTax Act of 2023 would do."

Seems a normal (albeit slightly smug) article until we get to: “the UK regulatory environment for businesses far exceeds what we have to deal with in the US.”

He then lists the rights we have here with the clear implication they are barriers to business. Rights hard won over decades before which we went up chimneys, down mines or into workhouses.

“I’m glad I’m running my small business in the US and not here”

That makes 2 of us!

Democratic politicians posting about the #fairtax seems stupid, because it’s idiotic and has no chance of passing, but then I remember that Democratic politicians frequently don’t take advantage of obvious political dumb ass moves by Republicans and then I’m ok with it. They want to raise taxes on 90% of their voters, by all means call them out.

Key #Republicans oppose #House #GOP bill to abolish #tax code https://thehill.com/policy/finance/3832344-key-republicans-oppose-house-gop-bill-to-abolish-tax-code/ "A study commissioned by the admin. of former President George W. Bush, which also considered the sales tax reform, found that people making between $15,000 and $200,000 a year would see their taxes increase under the plan, while people making more than $200,000 a year would see their share of the national tax burden decrease by 7.6 percentage points." #FairTax #regressive

The math still does not add up for the #FairTax, 19 years later after it was first introduced

@scottsantens OK, your article is more critical than I feared. At best we're looking at a legislative push that's 1 part UBI and 5 parts regressive taxation. But how to communicate that to the masses? There are already large troll armies of ordinary citizens (including many I know irl) who have been parroting the talking points #FairTax and even #Prebate for years.

The national sales tax to replace the IRS is a long discredited idea promoted by a talk radio host con man --> 'Will the House GOP Really Walk the Plank for the Fair Tax? - “The FairTax is too good to be true, and voters should not take seriously any candidate who supports it.

This "Fair Tax Act" -- It sounds like like regressive horseshit, but would stock trades be subject to the sales tax? Either daily trades of existing stocks or IPO stocks. preferably both. THEN maybe we can have a conversation. #fairtax #taxes #stocks #wallstreet

"five terrible tax breaks" used by just 70,000 individuals that deprive the public realm of £4bn'

It's not just tax avoidance, the whole system stinks and privileges the wealthy to avoid their fair share of tax legally. Toynbee thinks Labour will make sweeping changes. I can't see that under Starmer n Co. This country is not much better than a failed state apart from collecting taxes from PAYE earners. #effingAngry #TaxWealth #FairTax

Excellent article, the very rich should be properly taxed and not be allowed to use tax avoidance measures. #FairTax
