This summer, the world revolves around the World Cup. Billions of fans. One shared event.
But while we cheer for our countries, a handful of billionaires are playing by a completely different set of rules — and nobody is blowing the whistle.
It's time we changed the game.
Right now, billionaires extract more wealth than entire nations — while paying lower tax rates than the nurses, teachers, and fans cheering from Mexico City to Manchester.
Football has rules. If you foul, you get the red card. If you cheat, you're out. Our economies should work the same way — but governments have let the super rich play without rules for decades.
People everywhere are saying enough. Economists. Athletes. Activists. Fans. From Argentina to the Netherlands, they're putting on the shirt and choosing a side.
Gary Stevenson chose his.
Whose side are you on?
The World Cup belongs to the people. So does the economy.
You can’t sit on the bench for this one.
If you think billionaires need another superyacht.

gabrielzucman.english breaks down the figures on rising UK Wealth Inequality of the Richest 200 Families named in the Times Rich List.
A 5x increase!
It is clear that without proper Wealth Taxation the Super Rich will swallow the UK Economy in the next 10-20 years.

Things are getting unbearably hot around the world 🥵
Heatwaves are causing death and destruction from Africa to Asia - and this is only the beginning of the warmer season in the Northern hemisphere.
Oil and gas corporations are making bank with their climate-wrecking operations. Yet, it’s our families who are paying for climate chaos with flooded homes, rising costs, and an increasingly unsafe future.
These companies knew. They mislead. They kept drilling.
It’s time to hold them accountable.
Make polluters pay. Fund the transition. Protect what we love.

We surprised the public of Newport with our undercover millionaire. People assumed millionaires wouldn’t want to pay more tax, but they were shocked to find out that not only does Julia want to, but 75% of UK millionaires polled would also be proud to pay more!
Watch for the reactions, and wait until the end for the best line of all.
Do you agree with Julia that multi-millionaires should pay a bit more tax?

The difference in perspective is the real problem.
Anybody who really understands how much a billion is would be against it.
However perspective and just the reality of the difficulty in being able to grasp figures of this size is where people begin to disagree.
It’s disgusting. It’s a direct cause of many of UK society’s current problems.

TAKE ACTION VIA CAPTION BELOW👇
As Australians continue to feel pressure at the checkout, at the petrol pump and when paying rent, billionaire wealth surges again. It`s not okay.
The ever-growing wealth gap between the super-rich and the rest of Australia, particularly those living in poverty, NEEDS to be bridged now.
To take action, share this post, engage with it or head to our link in bio to email the treasurer to tax these billionaires NOW.

Working people have had zero representation in government for decades.
Policy decisions are made for the Super Rich ALONE, using Working People’s Money.

A wealth tax isn’t radical. Taxing the super wealthy is fairness in action, which is why 70% of millionaires support the concept. Let’s make it happen. Repost from millionairesforhumanity. Ahead of the G20 Summit in South Africa, we joined the Tax the Super Rich Alliance to project a powerful message onto Table Mountain and the Johannesburg skyline.
The message is clear: Tax the Super Rich for People and Planet.
In a time of growing inequality, where the top 1% hold more than 95% of the world’s wealth, the solution is right in front of us. 👉 70% of millionaires (like our members!) are in favor of a wealth tax. 👉 70% of the general public supports it as well.
We are calling on G20 leaders to find the courage to act. We are ready to pay our fair share.
Share this video to help spread the message around the world! 🌍
