Taxation - the curse of the capitalist class! /sarc

There are only two things certain in life - death and taxes. Christopher Bullock (1716)

With the transition to a money-free, class-free society one of these will no longer exist.

“Progressive” politicians, and their supporters, can often be heard hollering the slogan, ‘Tax the rich!’  Labour politician Denis Healey said, ‘until the pips squeak.’ It is not surprising that  the capitalist class should resist attempts to reduce the wealth accumulated from the exploitation of the working class.

“A  record number of super-rich Norwegians are abandoning Norway for low-tax countries after the centre-left government increased wealth taxes to 1.1%.

More than 30 Norwegian billionaires and multimillionaires left Norway in 2022, according to research by the newspaper Dagens Naeringsliv. This was more than the total number of super-rich people who left the country during the previous 13 years, it added. Even more super-rich individuals are expected to leave this year because of the increase in wealth tax in November, costing the government tens of millions in lost tax receipts.”

The Socialist Party of Great Britain provides a more relevant solution to the problem of the capitalist class and their continued clinging to wealth and to power.
