Do you think extremely wealthy people affect you? Watch the penny drop: MONEY = POWER!
@adambrichto.bsky.social
We think it's time to draw a line with an "extreme wealth line" - a measure of when extreme wealth harms us all. Where do you think that is?
💷 Over £1 million
💷 Over £10 million
💷 Over £100 million
💷 Never too much
We went to Newport with
@adambrichto.bsky.social to surprise the public with our undercover millionaire. People assumed millionaires wouldn't want to pay more tax, but they were shocked to find out not only does Julia want to, but 75% of UK millionaires polled would also be proud to pay more.
"That's too much money it's GOPPING!"
So here's an idea: if there's a poverty line that says you've not got enough, why shouldn't there be a line that says you've got too much?
We agree and we think it's time to draw an Extreme Wealth Line.

A poverty line marks deprivation. An extreme wealth line would mark dangerous concentrations of power. As trillionaire wealth emerges, we are arguing democracy needs both.
How much do you think is too rich?
💷 over £1m
💷 over £10m
💷 over £100m
💷 Never too much

The issue is not simply whether to tax wealth more, but why Britain continues to entrench such extreme concentrations of it, and why governments have repeatedly failed to confront the economic forces behind that outcome."
