...and indeed this is still the pinned tweet at the top of my profile to this day. I've been following Gary Stevenson @garyseconomics for even longer, and in my view he is a genius and a wonderful figurehead for urgently needed taxes on the extreme wealth of the super-rich - however this call for wealth tax is in my view just one of two key things we need, the other being a simple reform to the concept of corporate ownership itself  🍀

On the one hand, this might seem like a hard sell to some people, the kind who feel that private property is utterly sacrosanct at all costs (who sometimes just so happen to be those served very well thank-you-very-much by what modern capitalism has turned into) - but on the other hand, it could actually be personified in the form of a fairly straightforward quick-win piece of legislation 🤞🏻

If any employee of any company has worked there for a given amount of time, they quite simply should have a LEGAL RIGHT to own a share of that company 💰

This could be a straightforward right of citizenship and employment, which would turn labour into wealth ownership rights by law - and it would surely thus have a huge positive impact on employee motivation and empowerment, as well as wealth creation for ordinary people everywhere 😊

It is the future - join the movement - Universal Basic Ownership ✊🏻
