Allein durch Steuerhinterziehung entgeht uns ein Fünftel des aktuellen Staatshaushalts. Das muss sich ändern. Wir wollen in einem Land leben, in dem Tax Trades wie #CumEx oder #CumCum nicht mehr möglich sind. Und das ist machbar. Darüber hat Anne Brorhilker bei ZDF #Aspekte gesprochen. 👇

Market concentration → Less competition → Higher prices for consumers → Corporate profits at 70-year high → Record stock buybacks → Higher shareholder value → More power for corporations and the rich. How do we fight back? Break up monopolies and rebuild union power.

Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

Pierre Poilievre is the only national leader in the history of Canada who refuses (or can't get) national security clearance. He doesn't have a clue what he is talking about as he tries to stoke war in the Persian Gulf. No wonder voters booted his arse out of Parliament.

5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges.
