@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast "Taxing everything to shit" - Zucman style wealth tax would only be on £10m+ thats 0.04% of the UK pop..

Proper reform of CGT alignment would be a positive

Read these and lemme know what you think mate

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast If Burnham wants to be a serious progressive, anti-austerity PM, it’s time to tackle wealth inequality head-on

To get my vote:
1. #TaxWealthNotWork - Align Capital Gains Tax with Income Tax
2. Zucman-style wealth tax
3. Free uni/childcare

Fuck Reform - they want more austerity

[James @JamesForTW]

@Daniel48187292 @Euro_toff @Nigel_Farage @BBCNewsnight Yes, he literally did. He incited the exact thing they didnt want

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Tony Blair thinks the answer to this country’s problems is AI, welfare cuts and endless spending on war.

Who benefits? Arms companies and tech billionaires.

Once again, Blair is wrong. The answer is a redistribution of wealth and power and the relentless search for peace.

[James @JamesForTW]

@p3t324 @BiteYourBrum Ironic you talk EXACTLY as that summary shows: "If a report suggests that austerity ruined the NHS, the echo chamber labels that 'woke propaganda' or 'elite lies'"

2% wealth tax (not on you, only 0.04% of the population) would generate £23bn

3. Exit tax + they cant take assets

[James @JamesForTW]

@Brahmacharyan @p3t324 @BiteYourBrum Do you see how this convo has gone from "migration is bad" to you saying the PRIMARY issue in this country is effectively "I'm seeing too many non-white people"?

I would make a humble argument:
1. We are a proud multi-cultural country
2. Wealthy elite are MUCH more of an issue

[James @JamesForTW]

@p3t324 @Brahmacharyan @BiteYourBrum By definition, 16% is not "huge"
Pls explain with stats/evidence how they caused the issues us and our kids face:
- Record-high tax
- Crumbling public services
- Top 1% owning 21.3% of wealth
- Housing crisis
- Privatisation of NHS, energy, transport, water
- Uni fees
- AI jobs

[James @JamesForTW]

@Brahmacharyan @p3t324 @BiteYourBrum You ever been to a hospital or care home mate? or other industries relying on people doing jobs we don't wanna do? Wonder what it'd be like if you got rid of legal working immigrants overnight just because you hate brown people, so grim. No real "patriot" would want that

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast Fair enough man, I def. see your points and understand there's criticism. I suppose I'd argue the UK has been gutted by austerity for so long and the status quo has never truly been broken, why not try something different and learn from other countries wins/losses.

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast We both know they don't "point out" problems with the detailed economics/NHS/edu policies. Notice how it shifts back to scapegoating "boats", "open border", "muslims", "woke". Its very telling who they're beholden to...the elites who are TERRIFIED of us peasants have better lives

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast Nurses and teachers (like the ones in my family, maybe yours too?) pay a higher percentage of their next pound earned in tax and National Insurance than a BILLIONAIRE does when selling £10 million worth of stock...

Capital flight: How many realistically? charge an exit tax then.

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast The top 1% pay a large share of Income Tax, but often pay lower Effective Tax Rate due to their wealth from assets. Approx. 1/10 of the ultra-wealthy pay an effective rate of just 11%—roughly the same as a worker on £15,000—because their income is almost entirely comprised of CG

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast What I suppose I'm most concerned about is how Reform have so many people completely manipulated and blinded by weaponised divisive culture war stuff, that they wouldnt even dare read Green policies and understand its all directly for their average citizen benefit...

[James @JamesForTW]

@Lanesracf @BBCBreakfast Much better way of conversing mate. Stop the "lefties" "verbal diarrhea" "attack" stuff.
The top 1% own ~50% of UK wealth, fixing Capital Gains Tax so they pay farely, taking a small slice of that money can fund the entire NHS deficit without touching mine and your paycheck

[James @JamesForTW]

@bobrob223 @DizzyJB @BBCBreakfast @Nigel_Farage Right so a great way for the public to test competence, gain confidence and get an understanding of their policies would be to....DEBATE! (notice Farage never talks nitty gritty about policies...wonder why...almost because he prefers the radical divisive rhetoric)

[James @JamesForTW]

@Pudseycat67 @BBCBreakfast Screenshot the Green manifesto where they mention "legalising Heroin". Should be easy to find since I assume you've read it mate :)

Drinking on the job in the House of Commons, whilst you're voting on 69 million people's lives, should be banned, just like another other workplace

[James @JamesForTW]

@bobrob223 @DizzyJB @BBCBreakfast @Nigel_Farage Probably because Zia is an unelected person and not a party leader. Zack is a party leader wanting to debate another party leader. It's really not hard to understand...
