Roosevelt realised when blue collar workers had more money they spent it and put it back in to the economy which boostef other industries and grew the economy... He also knew if you gave rich people more they put it away. 'Happy days are here again' is forever linked to FDR.

Can you please stop saying the NHS is underfunded. There are cheaper healthcare systems in the world with much higher outputs. The NHS has an efficiency problem. Even Labour know this basic fact.

@claret_rain Excellent video (though we also need to start educating people about how public finance works in a country with a sovereign currency)!

And this mess… I am trying to get my voice heard, I have written to my MP Rishi Sunak several times over the last two years. I was meant to be having a meeting with Rishi this Friday 12th September so I cancelled my work schedule for this, now Rishi has cancelled the meeting. Due to the previous government’s new financial requirements imposed on British citizens for a U.K. spouse visa I am not allowed to have my wife Anna live with me in the U.K. I am a British citizen living on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, Anna is not. Anna and I have been together 9 years. Married. I am self employed, I own my house outright. Anna is a university graduate, freelance illustrator, speaks 3 languages. I don’t meet the new U.K. financial requirements. I visit Anna several times a year, so when I’m not working I am not earning. I also live in the north of England, wages are lower than London. We are tied up in the governments game to get the numbers down. If I was above the £29,000 but had a mortgage or rent to pay of £10,000 per year then that would be fine. I don’t have mortgage or rent (although now we have rent for an apartment in Turkey to pay for + bills because of this situation) and still I can’t live with Anna in the U.K. Why? What is the U.K. government so afraid of? The legal migration business run by the British government leading to hundreds of British citizens to live apart from wife’s, husband’s, children… Minimum income requirement for a British citizen Husband/wife £29,000 Savings route £88,000 Initial Visa application £1,846 Extension Every 2.5 Years (x3) £3,774 Immigration Health Surcharge £10,350 Indefinite Leave to Remain £2,885 Total £18,855 Excluding language test, legal costs ect Thank you for taking the time to read this.

That doesn't answer anything. Millionnaires and billionnaires do pay a lot of tax. The ones with the most liquid businesses can leave easily. The assets that are unrealised gains and not liquid are hard to extract money from. It's also been proven that wealth taxes do not work. So all this fair share stuff are just sound bites that don't mean anything. I'm not even sure what fair share means, it is thrown around like it's a simple thing. Then you talk about green energy. Funnily enough the only thing that's making solar panels cheaper is capitalism and one of the guys you hate the most, Elon Musk, has done more for climate change than you ever will. Tesla were revolutionary when it came to electric cars, battery storage and solar panels. All idealism but no substance.

This is exactly the sort of thing that I hopped for when voting for you, no idea why the greens didn't do vids like this before , so much wasted time

"We can all have well paid jobs by taxing the wealthy" yeah, because nothing says "I want to pay people better" like taxing someone more.

Sort out the energy prices first. They are killing household budgets. Then tax the ever living crap out of the rich. Build new homes with the money saved. More housing stock means lower rents. Simple.

Gov had full control of rail track since 2004 & train franchises since 2020. Problem isn’t ownership it’s capacity. BR had 730m passengers, now 1.8Bn, half of China Rail on a 200yr old network 10% the size. 25,000 a day fly on routes with direct trains You opposed the solution;

Please give an example of country which has been successful in making radical improvements in their economy and society simply by "taxing the rich"? If you can't then it is just wishful thinking, surely?

We do not need tax to pay for the NHS, public transport, social housing, education... We do not need billionaires! Tax them because their money buys them power!

It has been proven wealth taxes do not work? ...but only because those with wealth & power avoid tax, buy off politicians, build in loophooles, & make damn sure it cannot work. #MakeItMakeSense @TheGreenParty

You and most of your senior people at The Greens this is the nearest you will get to running a succesful businness. False promises ,deluded wish lists and massive virtue signalling will only fool a few. You dont have the slightest clue of how to run a business , least a country.

When you tax the rich and companies they will just pick up sticks and leave. Then who's going to foot the bill...

This is one of the best political communications I’ve seen. The monopoly board conveys the overarching issue we face today in a simple and succinct way - prioritising first mover advantage to allocate resources is neither just nor economically savvy.
