👏 Christopher Luxon gets it. Kiwis are already overtaxed — the last thing New Zealand needs is a wealth tax. We agree: focus on fixing wasteful spending, not punishing success.

The Democrats’ billionaire tax is already a complete disaster—just the THREAT of it has driven billions in wealth and tax revenue out of California. We need to cut spending and cut taxes, not double down on failure.

Julia Davies, "It might sound like wealthy people pay more in tax, that's because they disproportionately have more of the wealth of the UK" Patriotic Millionaires UK "I'm speaking here as a wealthy person, so I would have to pay the proposed 2% wealth tax that we're talking about" "No matter what the lobby groups who don't want to tax wealth will tell us, it is not going to be a problem for wealthy people to pay that" "Who it is a problem for the moment is working people and small-medium sized businesses" "So while we are delaying implementing more measures to fairly tax wealth, we are increasing the strain on working people and small to medium sized businesses" "We have increased national insurance on working people.. We should have applied national insurance to income on wealth. That would have brought in a lot of money and it wouldn't have put our small businesses under strain" "I represent a group called Patriotic Millionaires, we absolutely don't think wealth is a dirty word, suggesting that asking for fair taxation of wealth is saying wealth is something dirty is nonsensical" "Asking for fair taxation of wealth is not punishing anyone. Asking working people to pay more national insurance and income tax, that is punishing people"

VARNEY: You canceled almost $8b of energy projects, most of them in blue states. Are you punishing the blue states? CHRIS WRIGHT: We are punishing the wasteful spending of taxpayer dollars ... do you want to subsidize E-bike lanes lanes in Portlandia? (That's not a no!)

Congress is BANKRUPTING this country. Spending money on wasteful earmarks does NOT help the American people — it drives up inflation AND the cost of living. It needs to END.

“It’s outrageous to even talk about spending cuts when people are already exhausted and struggling. We need to tax the wealthiest and invest in our public services.” Zack Polanski says the government must stop punishing working people and start taxing wealth fairly. #Peston

Instead of fixing Toronto’s BROKEN ECONOMY so everyone earns more and the city collects MORE revenue, Olivia Chow’s solution is simple: TAX THE RICH HARDER. Result? Capital LEAVES. Jobs LEAVE. Tax base COLLAPSES. Punishing success doesn’t build a city. It DESTROYS one.

#WATCH | Christopher Luxon, Prime Minister of New Zealand, says, "Namaskar, my good friend Prime Minister Modi. Congratulations on your 75th birthday from me and all of your friends across New Zealand. A milestone like this is a moment to reflect on the wisdom of your leadership as you seek to guide India towards becoming a developed country by 2047. I'm really excited about New Zealand partnering more with India to achieve that vision as we look to ensure both our great nations achieve the security and also the prosperity that we seek. I hope I might be able to reciprocate the very warm hospitality you extended to me in March by hosting you here in New Zealand." (Source: Christopher Luxon/'X')

I come from a family of working people, so when I refer to the income tax, I call it a tax on work. Because that’s what it is, a tax on the hard work that you do every day, How will we eliminate it? It starts with slashing the wasteful spending of the Whitmer administration. We can pay to eliminate the tax on work entirely (TWICE) just from the spending increases of her administration. When we get rid of the tax on work, we’ll put more money in your pocket and unleash prosperity again in Michigan.

If you’re feeling concerned about petrol prices, you’re not alone. We know it’s tough, and the last thing any household needs right now is more pressure on the budget. While these pressures are global, New Zealand is in a stronger position to handle the impact of conflict in the Middle East than we were two years ago, because of the steps we have taken to rebuild the economy. We will continue to manage the economy responsibly and support Kiwis through this unpredictable time, delivering the steady economic management needed to minimise the impact on households.

It's time for a wealth tax on the super rich and a tax on excess profits. Those that say a wealth tax is too difficult are mistaken. We seem to be able to get workers to pay tax in a matter of weeks, the system is rigged and the country knows it. #WealthTax NOW! #Budget

Scotland needs delivery, not division. There was consensus for a referendum in 2014, there isn’t now. With so much to fix, another referendum is the last thing we need. The SNP focus on grievance. We’re focused on results.

Dear Sir Jeremy Hunt MP. Our tax system should be fair. The Autumn Statement should raise taxes on us, the super rich. We want it. The public wants it. Our country needs it. Tax our wealth and invest in a stronger, more sustainable Britain. It's the patriotic thing to do.
