We are busy auctioning the future of this country! Kenya is aprox 80% semi arid and we are busy clearing the only water catchment areas! #SaveKenyaForests

When I advocate for seed sovereignty in Kenya, this example from Nigeria illustrates it perfectly.

Communities must always control,breed,share,sell and exchange their indigenous seeds.

Indigenous seeds have been tested and tried through generations and our climate.

We have a choice: either tax the very rich more or have widespread extreme poverty

[Patriotic Millionaires @PatrioticMills]

America’s wealthiest dodge taxes by living off investments not subject to income tax, while essential workers pay more of their income than billionaires like Musk and Bezos.

The solution is: TAX THE RICH & fund the future hardworking Americans deserve.

“Billionaires already pay more taxes than you ever will” is one of the most financially illiterate arguments on this app because it confuses nominal dollars with effective burden.

A billionaire paying $500M in taxes sounds enormous until you remember they gained $20B in asset value while doing it. The relevant metric is percentage, not raw dollars. A teacher paying 22% of a $60k salary is carrying a heavier proportional burden than someone paying 8% while their wealth compounds tax-deferred through stock appreciation.

And this “their money was already taxed” line is mostly fiction at billionaire scale.

Middle-class wealth is usually income that got taxed, then saved. Billionaire wealth is overwhelmingly unrealized appreciation. Tesla stock going vertical did not mean Elon “earned” $100B in taxable salary. The shares appreciated. Under current law, that appreciation can sit untaxed for decades, get borrowed against for liquidity, then receive stepped-up basis treatment at death that can erase the embedded gains entirely.

That is not “double taxation.” In many cases it is functionally zero taxation on the primary mechanism of wealth accumulation.

People also weirdly talk about billionaires like they emerged from the forest carrying capitalism on their backs with no public inputs involved.

Their companies rely on:
public roads
public courts
public contract enforcement
public utilities
public universities
public research grants
public internet infrastructure
public IP law
public military-protected trade routes
public education systems producing labor

The modern corporation is not built in isolation. It operates inside an enormous state-supported framework.

And no, asking whether someone should contribute proportionally to maintaining the system that enabled $100B fortunes is not “greed.” That framing is emotional theater designed to avoid discussing the actual structure of tax law.

The real debate is simple:
Should labor income be taxed continuously while massive asset appreciation can compound largely untouched for generations?

That’s the argument. Everything else is distraction.

Taxes and billionaires

[CPA Wachira Joseph @WashiraX]

KRA is not playing with KTDA.

KTDA buys and sells tea leaves. Not tea. Tea ni chai. Chai ni ya kukunyua. Tea leaves ni majani ya chai. Kirui are we together?

Now,

KTDA was growing very fast. They wanted the Gulf people to taste the classical definition of proper Kenyan tea.

In 2008, they opened a branch in Dubai. Branch role, to market and sell tea in the Gulf.

In this setup, KRA was eating well. Because branches are like agents. They sell and send all profits back home.

So Dubai sold tea. Profits came back to Kenya. KTDA consolidated everything. And handed KRA a biig fat cheque.
KRA was extremely happy.

In 2014, KTDA got tired of tickling KRA.

They discovered.

- If they register a separate company in Dubai
- Gulf profits won’t be taxed in Kenya
- And Dubai tax was 0% too

So no taxes nowhere.

Directors said: Perfect. Do it. Fast!

As they are doing all this, they are unaware of one dangerous sentence sitting quietly in Kenyan tax law.

It reads:
• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan resident company.

The Dubai company was registered. Life was good. Money was flowing. Zero income tax.

Next year, KRA noticed their cheque suddenly got thinner.

They asked KTDA Kenya, ndugu ni nini inaendelea hapa?

KRA got the shocking news of its life from KTDA.

- We do not have a problem paying taxes. But the Dubai branch has been upgraded to a full Dubai company. And profits are no longer coming home to be taxed.

KRA could not believe it. It returned to Times Tower. And embarked a fault finding mission.

In 2021, they found out:

- Directors of KTDA Dubai were all Kenyans
- They lived and drank tea in Kenya
- They controlled every single affair of KTDA Dubai from Kenya

Wakasema baas, nini ingine tunatafuta?

They invoked the one dangerous sentence. You remember it?

• Any company managed and controlled from Kenya is a Kenyan company.

KRA declared KTDA Dubai a Kenyan company

• Tax demanded 122M

KTDA ran to court with Dubai registration papers.

The judges questioned KRA why it wanted to harvest where Kenya did not plant?

KRA responded: My Lords, if your hen lays eggs in your neighbour’s land, is that egg yours or your neighbour’s?

Judges paused.

Then sided with KRA.

KTDA wakaabiwa walipe tax.

Case closed.

Lesson.

• Structure your offshore company properly.

• Or KRA will structure it for you.

For anyone who would like to hear Mark Carney’s outstanding Davos speech in full here it is. This is what true global leadership looks like.

Canada should be immensely proud today, because they are leading the fight back when others dare not.

[Echo 𝕏 @echodatruth]

So let me get this straight…

At Davos, Larry Fink admits the global elites have lost public trust and now face “deep institutional mistrust.”

“The world now places far less trust in us.”

This is the same BlackRock that helped vacuum up single-family homes across the U.S.
Pricing out everyday Americans…
Then renting them back at higher costs.

And now we’re told to trust the same elites at the World Economic Forum?

Reminder:
The WEF was founded in 1971, the exact same year the U.S. dollar was taken off the gold standard.

Since then:
• Purchasing power collapsed
• Assets consolidated at the top
• Trust evaporated at the bottom

This isn’t a “trust problem.”
It’s a credibility problem.

You don’t regain trust by admitting it’s gone.
You regain it by stopping the behavior that destroyed it.
People aren’t confused anymore.
They’re awake.

And that’s what really scares them.

While South Africans struggle with broken hospitals and failing services, billionaires keep getting richer - without paying their fair share.
