We also need a shift in thinking. Being ridiculously wealthy should not be something to be proud of or idolised when there's so much suffering in the world.
Millionaires/billionaires should be seen to be eagerly supporting charity, communities and the world.
No one needs to be a billionaire.

If you give money to the poorest they are more likely to spend it, which means more money flowing in the economy which means more money for the poorest which means more money flowing in the economy......

Let's stop hitting the poorest and start hitting the rich

They don't use services that can be cut - e.g. healthcare - they own necessary services or buy what they want (at the expense of the rest of us) :'(

They use healthcare. M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, just one example.

Yeah… let’s do that. Or maybe we can cut other things from the rich… things that where cut off during revolutions… revolutions that happened during times of extreme wealth inequality… where the dominant class demonstrated extreme opulence… and started getting comfortable and complacent…

For real… it’s the same neo-liberalist playbook over and over… blame the the debt on public institutions and slowly privatise the public sector. The rich get richer and the poor end up losing basic human necessities/rights.

Yes indeed - but noone is doing that, and noone is chasing the bogus PPE contracts, if they are they are keeping very quiet about it. So far it's a case of rinsing the poorest who cannot go out and get a job to pay the ever-rising bills. As a lifelong Labour supporter I am dismayed.

I’m hearing of very small recipients being threatened with prosecution, but it was clearly fraud in the cases I’ve seen. They don’t have lawyers or followers to support them. Somehow they thought they could do what rich folk do. The usual story.

What are Labour afraid of! They have the majority to upset the grifters the greedy and the grouchers….
Why are Labour such cowards?

Say for example, we took £1bn from everyone with over £2bn, what impact would that have on their life? What would they no longer be able to afford? Not even US style healthcare costs that much?

The rich shouldn't recieve tax breaks of any kind, nothing.
