Time to tax the mega-rich? – How a wealth tax might work

from The Bunker – News without the nonsense · host Podmasters

As Britain’s finances worsen, pressure is building for Labour to bring in a wealth tax on the super-rich – not least because Rachel Reeves has ruled out pretty much every other tax. How would it work? How much would it raise? Who would pay? And would those poor billionaires really flee Britain if it happened? Stephen Kinsella of Patriotic Millionaires UK explains why we really do need to tax the rich (and why he doesn’t mind if it’s him).  • Support us on Patreon for early episodes and more. • We are sponsored by Indeed.
