Major changes rarely move in a straight line: in 1895 the US Supreme Court struck down the federal income tax; 18 years later it was written into the Constitution ICRICT Co-Chair @josephestiglitz.bsky.social tells @financialtimes.com taxing billionaires is “only a matter of time” shorturl.at/ghcB4

For the first time, voters in the United States had the opportunity to vote on a wealth tax on billionaires. “The question is no longer if, but when we will have a wealth tax on billionaires.” — @josephestiglitz.bsky.social Whatever the final outcome of #Prop40, the debate has begun.

Billionaires raised more than $300 million to stop a one-time 5% tax on their wealth in California. “From California to France, from Hungary to India, the same push is gaining ground worldwide.” @jayatighosh.bsky.social, ICRICT co-chair #TaxTheSuperRich #Prop40

3) On 3rd November there's a vote on a wealth tax in California, the world's 5th largest economy, with highest number of billionaires than any other US state. A one-time 5% wealth tax on residents with over $1bn in net worth would fund healthcare (90% of revenue) + Education & Food Assistance (10%)

3 M people losing health insurance, or a one-time 5% tax on billionaire wealth. @gabrielzucman.bsky.social explains what’s at stake: people vs the oligarchy. California citizens decide on November 3. 🗳️ YES on #Prop40. 🎥 @cnbc.com Full discussion: shorturl.at/VfaB3 #YESon40 #TaxTheSuperRich

5 DAYS TO GO. In March, 50% of Californians backed taxing ~250 billionaires to fund healthcare. But as billionaire money poured in, support for “No” grew, although “Yes” is still leading. Can democracy beat the oligarchs’ money? Nov 3. The world is watching. #YESon40 #BillionaireTaxNow

The era of trillionaires will be dire for democracy. Here is how we can fight back | Gabriel Zucman

There is a fundamental tension between extreme wealth and the very possibility of democracy. That’s because extreme wealth is always an extreme power
