You know what Mamdani taxed the rich and then suddenly libraries started to work, potholes got fixed, childcare exists, and workers get paid more.
That's why billionaires are losing it and want him gone!!!
The average Council Tax in the UK is £1,770 a year. The average household energy bill is £1,700 a year. The average yearly grocery bill is £3,300. The average yearly rent £16,440.
That’s £23,210.
Minimum Wage is £23,809 a year before Tax.
In no world where billionaires exist should a scientist have to ask the general public to crowdfund the potential breakthrough cure for pancreatic cancer. And that’s why billionaires should not exist.
It never ceases to amaze me how billionaires who already have enough money to last 1,000 lifetimes still want more money and have no desire to help the poor, the disabled or the elderly.

The rise of the far right is not inevitable.
If we work together, we can dare to hope.
it’s actually insane the fact that so many ppl are against everyone having access to basic human needs. why are you against kids having free meals at school? why are you against elders on little to no income getting medication for reasonable prices? wtf is wrong with you ppl
Jeff Bezos, worth $240 billion, sailed on his $500 million yacht to a $55 million wedding in Venice to give his wife a $5 million ring & spends $12.7 million on union busting so he can replace workers with robots.
His tax rate: 1.1%.
5 words: Tax billionaires out of existence.
Minimum wage in 2005 was £5.05 and a Freddo was 10p. Meaning that one hour of work got you 50 Freddos.
Fast forward to 2025, minimum wage is £12.21 and a Freddo is 35p. Now one hour of work will only get you 34 of them.
That's a 142% rise in pay but a 250% rise in frog shaped chocolate bars.
If wages had kept up with the price Freddos, the minimum wage would be £17.50 an hour.
The economy’s in shambles and yes I’m measuring it in chocolate frogs. But this post is about more than that. Too many people are working full time and struggling to survive because absolutely everything is increasing faster than wages.
Something needs to change.
The richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to be a major owner of TikTok.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
