Now tell me there is no case for taxing wealth.

And, yes, the disparity is not as bad in the UK than some places. So what?

This is literally a graphic description of an unjust world where all the alternative forms of security that once compensated for a lack of financial wealth  - like workplace security, occupational pensions, social security, secure household tenure and more - are also being stripped away from those without wealth.

This inequality is not just not viable. It is deeply dangerous.

The time for tax justice has come.
