While the vast majority of the EU’s population has become steadily poorer recently, its top five richest billionaires have increased their wealth from €244bn in 2020 to €429bn in 2023, an Oxfam report revealed on Monday (15 January).
This represents a 76 percent increase in just three years — at a rate of €5.7m per hour.
“This inequality is no accident; the billionaire class is ensuring that corporations deliver more wealth to them at the expense of everyone else,” said Amitabh Behar, Oxfam International’s interim executive director.
We really should tax %% them all: their businesses, the Royal houses; no exceptions, or offshore bla bla. Then we can redistribute their wealth/power more socially.
EU corporate tax rules should only be a beginning.
Just tax anything above, say, 500million with a rate of 95%. Nobody needs that kind of money. Making that much is only numbers porn for the sociopaths, it doesn’t matter if they get to keep it.
Taxes or guillotines. Pick one.
Do we grill them or pan seer them?
It’s gonna trickle down any second now
Sadly not unexpected

Eat the rich. It’s the best thing you can do: for society, against climate change, everything.

Guillotines. Run em through until people understand: hoard wealth, lose your head
