Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐<p>None of this is to say that the state has no justification for demanding payment for anything, at all.</p><p>There is one form of "taxation" which is not really <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxation</span></a>, at all; it is a user fee that you are compelled to pay, because it is just compensation for the benefits that you, personally and particularly, receive from the state for the limited grant of economic monopoly power.</p><p>That is Land Value Taxation. <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/LVT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LVT</span></a></p>
Gemma ⭐️🔰🇺🇸 🇵🇭 🎐<p>Even in its supposedly "democratic" form, <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/Socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Socialism</span></a> is the government coercively and violently seizing your labor product, using the jusitification that some other person needs it more than you, the person who produced, earned, and rightfully owns it.</p><p>If you don't think <a href="https://mstdn.plus/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxation</span></a> is theft, try refusing consent to any taxes you believe are injust or unconstitutional, and see how long it takes the state to send masked men with guns to take away your property, liberty, and eventually, your life.</p>
Emeritus Prof Christopher May<p>Last year despite a number of NonDoms jumping ship, the actual taxation raised from NonDoms, under the new tax arrangements was £100mn more than before the change (from less actual taxpayers).</p><p>Now that's not a big increase in a £12bn + taxation take, nor is the reduction of NonDoms as dramatic as some of their lobbyists might have you believe (down from 74,100 to 73,700 in the tax year ending April 2024).</p><p>What we might make of this; 'storm in a teacup'?</p><p><a href="https://zirk.us/tags/taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxation</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/inequality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inequality</span></a> <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>politics</span></a> <br>h/t FT</p>

This is because of the now deemed illegal wealth tax based on hypothetical gains. The High Court in The Hague has indicated it violates EU human rights and therefore has to change. Of course it’s a nice big fat income for the Dutch government so they take their good time to change it.

WYM Mod<p>Paul Krugman critiques the disdain MAGA supporters have for New York City, linking it to a broader animosity towards various groups and institutions. Highlighting the city’s benefits like public transport and safety, he contrasts it with the flawed views of politicians like Sean Duffy and Scott Bessent. Krugman argues that New Yorkers enjoy better healthcare and safety than Floridians, despite higher taxes.

WIST Quotations<p><a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/18337/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">A quotation from <b>Teddy Roosevelt</b></a></p><blockquote>No man should receive a dollar unless that dollar has been fairly earned. Every dollar received should represent a dollar’s worth of service rendered — not gambling in stocks, but service rendered. The really big fortune, the swollen fortune, by the mere fact of its size acquires qualities which differentiate it in kind as well as in degree from what is possessed by men of relatively small means. Therefore, I believe in a graduated income tax on big fortunes, and in another tax which is far more easily collected and far more effective — a graduated inheritance tax on big fortunes, properly safeguarded against evasion and increasing rapidly in amount with the size of the estate.</blockquote><p><b>Theodore Roosevelt</b> (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909)<br>Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” John Brown Memorial Park dedication, Osawatomie, Kansas</p> <p>Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/18337/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/1…</a></p><p><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quote</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotes</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>quotation</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>qotd</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=tr" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tr</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=teddyroosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>teddyroosevelt</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=theodoreroosevelt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>theodoreroosevelt</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=deservedness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>deservedness</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=dividends" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dividends</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=earnings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>earnings</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fortune" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fortune</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=incometax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>incometax</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inheritance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inheritance</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=inheritancetax" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>inheritancetax</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=interest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>interest</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=investment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>investment</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=labor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>labor</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oligarchy</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=onepercent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>onepercent</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=service" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>service</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=wealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wealth</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>work</span></a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=taxation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taxation</span></a></p>
