The Dallas ICE office is involved in a mass removal effort targeting nearly 200 people — many without removal orders — scheduled to be deported to El Salvador today. This is not just cruel – it is lawless. I refuse to stay quiet while families are being torn apart, and lives are being put at risk.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

William Hogarth – "The Rake’s Progress" (1733-1735) Sir John Soane’s Museum, London, UK Mocking decadence of court. skewers moral failings of elite, including kings like George II, whose courts were rife corruption. Royal indulgence enables societal decay, calling monarchs to task for complicity.

Taxing the top 20 at 90% ($2.34T), next 20 at 75% ($675B), and next 60 at 50% ($600B) totals $3.615 trillion. That’s spot-on for the $3–4 trillion kickstart—surplus at the low end, slightly short at the high end. It could rebuild war-torn economies and slash poverty for a year...

000

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

With $3.615 trillion: Low End ($3T): We’re $615 billion ahead—a surplus. High End ($4T): We’re $385 billion short. This lands us squarely in the target zone, covering 90–120% of the goal depending on the exact need.

Kickstart $3–4 trillion—a one-time push to halve global poverty (3.5 billion people below $6.85/day) and rebuild conflict zones.

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Applying the Tax Rates Top 20 at 90%: 90% of $2.6 trillion = $2.34 trillion. Next 20 at 75%: 75% of $900 billion = $675 billion. Next 60 at 50%: 50% of $1.2 trillion = $600 billion. Total haul: $2.34T + $675B + $600B = $3.615 trillion.

000

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Total wealth of the top 100: $2.6T + $900B + $1.2T = $4.7 trillion. Top 100 typically hold 35–40% of all billionaire wealth (~$12 trillion globally).

000

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Next 60 (41–100): Here, net worths fall from ~$30B to ~$10B. Top 100 hold ~$4.5–5T total. Sub top 40’s ~$3.5T($2.6T + $900B) leaves ~$1–1.5T for #41–100. Call it $1.2 trillion for these 60.

000

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Historical data suggests the top 26 held $2.872 trillion, so subtracting the top 20’s $2.6 trillion leaves ~$272 billion for #21–26. Extrapolating to #40, with a smoother drop-off, their total wealth is likely $800 billion–$1 trillion. Let’s use $900 billion as a mid-point. #EatTheRich #WeAreHungry

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Wealth distro among billionaires follows steep curve—huge at the top, tapering fast. Here’s a breakdown: Top 20: As before, roughly $2.6 trillion total. Think Musk ($250B), Arnault ($200B), Bezos (~$180B), down to #20 at ~$50–60B. Next 20 (21–40): This tier ranges from ~$50B to ~$30B per person.

000

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Not a new idea... Oxfam estimates a 5% wealth tax on billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion annually, enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty (roughly $850 per person for those below $6.85/day)

000

Rise Up Team @riseupregular.bsky.social · 18/03/2025

Top 20’s combined net worth +/- $2.5–2.7 trillion today. Here’s why: The top 10 alone (e.g., Elon Musk, Bernard Arnault, Jeff Bezos) often exceed $1.5 trillion collectively. The next 10 typically add another $1–1.2 trillion, tapering down from figures like $50–100 billion each. GROSS.
