The case for taxing wealth, argument by argument.
This video argues that falling real wages in the UK are not primarily due to declining productivity, but rather an increasing wealth inequality. It explains how a highly unequal distribution of asset ownership, from homes to commercial property and stocks, creates a society where the majority must work constantly to survive, while a wealthy minority enjoys substantial passive income, leading to a downward pressure on wages.

“The only way to stop it is to change the tax system. We currently have a tax system which charges you an ordinary working people like you 30, 40, 50% and charge”
“The reason I do this, the reason I campaign to stop inequality from increasing, is because I do not want the ordinary people of this country, of other countries”
“Because often when I talk about wealth inequality people think I'm talking about income inequality. This is not about your job. This is about what you own.”
