What do these corporations have in common?

Netflix
Ford
Tesla
T-Mobile
Duke Energy
DISH Network
Metlife
Dominion Energy
United States Steel

In recent years, they all paid their execs more than they paid in taxes.

This is what a corporate-rigged system looks like.

When your past finally catches up, what do you do? What do you do?

When the record shows you voted against every measure meant to help working people—what do you do? What do you do?

When stories about your ties to Russia won’t disappear, what do you do? What do you do?🤨👇

The UK, where the day after a decision to take half a million children out of poverty, the media & political world has been full of sneering at those same children & their families, labelling them as ‘Benefits Street’, while the same people are moaning about a tax on £2m mansions. Shameful stuff.

If Musk put his money into a basic UK savings account paying 4%, this is the interest he would earn:

Per year: £14.4 billion
Per day: £39.45 million
Per hour: £1.64 million

Just the interest = 370,000 average UK earners.

And he doesn't work interest.

And he wants to pay less tax.
It’s hard to imagine the vast fortune that is Elon’s net worth currently estimated at $476.4billion or £360billion. If it helps, someone on an average salary who wanted to save up this much would have to had started saving in the Miocene epoch 12 million years ago. (assuming they saved every penny)

Every city should now implement a tourist tax and a workplace car parking levy, using the money to fund local priorities such as public transport and active travel infrastructure.
