Not to compare this battle to the fight against transatlantic slavery, but people can win.

We can win.

And I think if you,

If we keep doing what we've been doing, which is speak to one another, educate one another on this simple message, you cannot fix living standards without fixing inequality, we will continually again and again put these politicians into situations where they have no choice to give us what they want.

And to finish this video, as not a political lobbyist, but somebody who I think has done quite a good job so far.

If you want to get what you want from your politicians, put them in a situation where they can't f*** you without f***ing themselves.

And that way we'll get it.

Tax wealth not work.

Thank you.

Alright, welcome back to Gary's Economics.

Today we are going to explain why Jeff Bezos wants to cut your taxes.

Interesting one this week.

We're going to go over to the US, our surprisingly tall little brother, which is a country I've not looked at too much recently.

For a bit of context, the tax the super rich movement has been growing a lot in basically how much public attention it's been receiving in the US for a couple of reasons.

Number one, they have a big vote on a tax

tax on the super rich in California coming up in November.

And number two, Zoran Mamdani has become mayor of New York and he's aggressively trying to tax the rich, including bringing in a tax on unoccupied second homes in New York City.

And this has really brought a lot of spotlight to the idea of tax the rich in the US.

There's going to be a vote in November and a lot of people, including the American very rich, are not happy about it.

And Jeff Bezos, who is the world's fourth richest man with a wealth of approximately about 280 billion dollars, did an interview for CNBC this week where he kind of argued that we shouldn't tax the rich.
