Unless every state/province/nation was on board for a #WealthTax, these measures would at best be futile.

Companies & the affluent would simply migrate to another region.

Please don't use the word Centrist to describe #CorporateDemocrats

That's adopting the enemy's frame

A true centrist would be someone who's positions represented the majority of people on most issues

i.e., #BernieSanders

A fascinating conversation between Trevor Noah and Bernie Sanders from October last year. Laying out the challenge facing the pro-democracy movement in the US, where both major parties are totally captured by an increasingly fascist corporatism;

#US companies are vying for contracts to rebuild #Gaza. This is what a lot of people don't grasp about #war & #climatechange. Their destructive effects always open new avenues of #capital accumulation.

Trump’s anti #Somali rants are not directed only at that group. All #Black / #African people are seen as suspects, as ungrateful #criminals who are deserving of punishment & scorn. He isn't alone in this thinking.

Bad business & bad ethics demands boycott. No CEO in the world is worth that kind of salary. All companies rest on the shoulders of their employees - always.

#starbucks #berniesanders

Starbucks paid its new CEO $96 million for just four months of work. In four years, it has failed to sign a contract with nearly 12,000 of its union workers. This is what corporate greed is all about. I stand with Starbucks workers. Bernie Sanders & @BernieSanders

#BernieSanders Lays Out Plan to Fight #Oligarchy as Wealth of Top #Billionaires Passes $10 Trillion

"If there was ever a moment when #progressives needed to communicate our vision to the people of our country, this is that time," wrote Sen. Bernie Sanders. "Despair is not an option."

Jake Johnson
Dec 31, 2024

"A Bloomberg analysis of billionaire wealth published Tuesday found that the combined fortunes of the 500 richest people on the planet surpassed $10 trillion this year, a finding that came shortly after U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders issued an urgent call to action to prevent the emergence of 'an oligarchic and authoritarian society.'

"The new analysis notes that the world's top 500 billionaires 'got vastly richer' this year with the help of "an indomitable rally in U.S. technology stocks."

"Just eight billionaires— #ElonMusk, #MarkZuckerberg, #JensenHuang, #LarryEllison, #JeffBezos, #MichaelDell, #LarryPage, and #SergeyBrin—added more than $600 billion to their collective wealth in 2024 and accounted for 43% of the $1.5 trillion increase in net worth among the world's 500 richest people, according to Bloomberg.

"'But it was Musk—the so-called 'first buddy' of President-elect Donald Trump after unprecedented support for his reelection campaign—who dominated the world's wealthiest in 2024,' Bloomberg observed, adding that Trump himself also saw his fortune surge to a record high this year, 'boosted by the performance of his majority stake in Trump Media & Technology Group Corp.'

"Musk's use of his enormous fortune to influence the U.S. political system—including via his purchase of one of the world's largest social media platforms and donations to Trump's 2024 campaign—amplified existing concerns about the corrosive impact of massive wealth concentration on democracy.

"And #WealthInequality in the U.S. could soon get worse, with Trump and the incoming Republican-controlled Congress set to pursue another round of tax cuts for the #UltraRich and large #corporations."

After an #economic crash you always see headlines like What Was Everyone Thinking? What do you mean everyone, most of us are waving our arms & screaming every day, it's a handful of insanely #rich assholes who aren't listening.

The problem of course is we have a #political & #economic system that has eliminated the downsides of insane behavior & risk taking. You can burn down the world, then shrug & walk away with billions. Seems like a problem

New York Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani’s victory highlights the growing influence of democratic socialists in U.S. politics, but his success will face pushback from both the Trumpian right and the Democratic establishment. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/11/world/zohran-mamdanis-makes-big-bet/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #zohranmamdani #berniesanders #newyork #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats
