"The Supreme Court just agreed to hear a case next term that could preempt Congress and the Biden administration from instituting a federal wealth tax — another potentially lucrative gift for conservative justices’ billionaire benefactors and the superrich. A think tank affiliated with some of those benefactors recently pressed the court to accept the case and outlaw such taxes."

Oh, let's make it 99% - there's more chance of them paying.

In the UK, I think our top bracket went to 94 or 96 per cent and in India, if you add in the annual wealth tax, the annual tax on the super wealthy was over 100%.

Needless to say, the chances of actually getting any money out of the is inversely proportional to the rate.

To avoid rising taxes, Norway's super-rich flee to Switzerland.

Since autumn 2022, several dozen Norwegian billionaires have moved to Switzerland to escape tax increases. These departures have sparked controversy in the kingdom, which has been run by a center-left government since October 2021.

Some additional stats on why we need a :

The UK's 171 richest people increased their wealth by £30bn last year. They now have a combined wealth of over £680bn according to the Times Rich List.

At a time when so many ordinary people are struggling to get by, this is pretty disgusting. It also shows that the Tory/BoE line that we all need to accept we're poorer is yet another lie because the aren't getting poorer - they're getting

The aren't struggling with the - they're getting even richer, and that inequality between the haves and have-nots is going to keep getting deeper.

It's time for the obscenely wealthy to pay more tax and help fund schools and other public services, the NHS and the fight against the climate crisis. All been abandoned by this inept Tory government.

Billionaire pays 1/250th of his wealth (€1.5bn) in tax and moves country. For your average homeowner, that's like paying an extra 2-3k a year.

how pathetic, how sad, how - "A record number of super-rich Norwegians are abandoning Norway for low-tax countries after the centre-left government increased wealth taxes to 1.1%.

More than 30 Norwegian and left in 2022, according to research by the newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv. This was more than the total number of super-rich people who left the country during the previous 13 years, it added. Even more super-rich individuals are expected to leave this year because of the increase in wealth tax in November, costing the government tens of millions lost tax receipts."

Having already dropped over a $bn into , this week he's putting end to the cash burn & suspending operations, while paying off staff who are losing their jobs.

Which billionaire trying to leave the planet will be next to throw in the towel I wonder?
