While we struggle with a continuing cost-of-living crisis, the billionaires are doing just fine... but this is driven by (largely) asset price inflation (rising prices of shares & property).

In the G7 the UK (Oxfam have concluded) has the highest proportion of billionaire wealth relative to the rest of the economy.... nothing at all to do with fifteen years of Tory Govt., I'm sure /s

To repair society the billionaires need to be taxed more - simples!

Maybe this is true, but it didn't work in Norway, they simply left the country to live elsewhere.

The wealth gap is so big and destructive that the extra tax revenue would only serve to make the 99.9% feel better on the same sinking ship.

The big question really is, why are we even being taxed if govts can raise infinite funds through bonds.
