Working people are being crushed by this government while they hand hundreds of millions in giveaway tax breaks to the most profitable and wealthy businesses in the country. It’s a transfer of your wealth as the taxpayer to the richest in our society.

When Trump and Republicans passed their Big Bad Betrayal Bill, they stripped health care for millions in this country. All to hand trillions of dollars in tax breaks to billionaires. We must reverse these cuts and stop this transfer of wealth from working people to the richest of the rich.

We don’t have to live in a country where millions are hit by a cost-of-living crisis - while the super-rich get wealthier by the day. At the Budget, I’m calling on the Government to tax wealth and give people the help they need. ✍️ Add your name today.

The Republican budget bill - which throws over 10 million working Americans off their health care to pay for a tax cut for the wealthy - is this biggest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in the history of the country. It’s outright theft.

Imagine the frustration of being a taxpayer in this country. An average 2BHK cost more than 1 crore in this area, people working in Bangalore pay one of the highest income tax and then they have to hit the road to demand one of the most basic thing expected from Govt - A road.

Republicans have a strategy, and it's the same as it always is—to give tax breaks to the richest people in America at the expense of working families. Democrats refuse to stand by while the GOP tries to rob America’s children of their future.

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"

The Republican budget bill represents the greatest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the rich in the history of the country. Nearly $1 trillion of cuts to Medicaid - throwing millions off their health care - to fund $1 trillion in tax cuts for the richest 1%.

When people say things like ‘Why are people worried about wealth taxes that will never affect them’ it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of how the economy works and why even people who aren’t rich, don’t want wealth taxes. Wealthy people like it or not, are amongst the most economically productive people in our country, the top 1% of earners contribute 30% of our income tax receipts. The top 1% are responsible for approx 340,000 jobs in the economy etc. Wealthy people are also best placed to restructure their tax affairs to avoid wealth taxes and the most geographically mobile in our country, leaving for them is as easy as rearranging dates in their calendar. There is a wealth of comparative data from other countries showing wealth taxes are economically damaging, difficult to implement, expensive to administer and never raise the levels of taxes promised. There is no country in world that has ever raised anywhere near the £25 billion cited as the potential amounts that would be raised from an annual wealth tax. If the wealthy leave that impacts our tax base, which inevitably means that everyone else who isn’t wealthy, has to pay more tax. If they leave they will shift their strategic focus and capital to wherever they go, which means that money that would otherwise would have been invested in the UK will go elsewhere. This is precisely why other countries like Italy have tax regimes specially designed to incentivise wealthy people to come, they understand that having wealthy people is great for tax receipts, job creation and economic growth. It’s very disingenuous to assume the reason why people don’t support wealth taxes is because they believe they will one day be in the 1%. They don’t support wealth taxes for the most part because they understand they simply do not work. Zack Polanski is a dangerous man who isn’t even clear in his own mind why we need wealth taxes. His commitment to wealth taxes is ideological rather than evidence based. In the interview he explains that there’s a lot of the wealth in the city of London yet at the same time maintains that wealth taxes aren’t needed for raising tax revenues but are principally for reducing wealth inequality. So you mean to tell me the goal is the force some of the most economically productive people to leave so that we can all be poorer collectively but be more equal? In a country where 53% of households take more out of the state in benefits than they put in, what do you think will happen to the tax burden for working /middle class people if the top 1% leave or restructure their tax affairs in such as way that reduces their exposure to the UK. We are already at a post world war high when it comes to the tax burden and we are in real time seeing the damage it is doing to business and investor confidence in the UK economy. Yet you somehow think that levying even more taxes will have no impact on ordinary people?

Today I asked the Secretary of State if she really believes it is fairer to balance the books on the backs of disabled people and the poor, rather than introduce a wealth tax on the very richest people in our society?

Wealthy people are fleeing Britain. The tax burden is being increased to such extreme high levels by Keir Starmer’s radical left socialist govt, that Britain has the highest levels of wealth leaving, dwarfing any other country in Europe. “Tax the rich” is resulting in wealth leaving and 3rd world welfare migrants flooding in.

Trump: "If they‘re working for the federal government, they must show up to the office on time and on schedule." "We don‘t want them to work from home because, as everyone knows, most of the time they‘re not working. They‘re not very productive. And it‘s unfair to the millions of people in the United States who are, in fact, working hard from job sites and not from their home." "As federal employees. They must meet a high standard. They are representing our government. They‘re representing our country. If they don‘t agree by February 6th to show up back to work in their office, they will be terminated."

The world’s richest man now wants to shut the government down so he can transfer the wealth of working class people to himself and his companies. And the Congress and Trump have bent the knee. It’s totally crazy.

California is the most diverse state in the country, with the most immigrants in the country. We also have the largest economy in the country, the 4th largest of any country in the world. This is not despite our hard working immigrants -- as laborers, as consumers and as innovators -- but because of them. They deserve better than to live in fear of being disappeared, detained or deported without due process by the Trump administration.
