I'm taking my "Norway's wealth tax didn't reduce tax revenue" victory lap.

Whether imposing higher taxes on business owners adversely affects business activity by constraining investment and inducing capitalist flight is a central question in the ongoing debate on how to tax the ultra wealthy. To shed new light, I exploit a series of related Norwegian reforms during 2021–2024 that increased dividend tax rates, removed migration-related capital gains tax loopholes, and nearly doubled the effective marginal tax rate on business wealth. These reforms spurred international debate and, allegedly, an “exodus” of Norwegian billionaires (Financial Times, 2023). While I document clear effects on migration, these responses are concentrated among the top 0.1% of the wealth distribution and mostly confined to 2022 and 2023. My results indicate that at most 100 individuals left due to the reforms. I find no evidence of significant outmigration or reduced inflows of startup founders or inventors. I estimate that absent any outmigration, wealth tax revenues would have increased by 75% from 2021 to 2024. Reform-driven outmigration lowers the revenue gain to 71.5%. My findings further show that outmigrating owners’ firms remain economically active and do not reduce investment. In a broader set of analyses, I examine whether business outcomes are affected, regardless of whether owners outmigrate, since firms may reduce investment both due to liquidity constraints or distortions to owners’ savings decisions. I compare firms owned by Norwegian individuals subject to the wealth tax with firms owned by foreigners and other tax-exempt entities. By merging historical ownership data from Orbis with the Norwegian shareholder register, I perform these analyses on both Norwegian and foreign-domiciled firms. Across settings, I find no evidence that Norwegian-owned firms pay out more dividends or invest less after the reforms, nor is there any evidence that the reform induced more bankruptcies. ...

Obviously it isn’t good that there’s this level of totally overt hatred and racism in public life, but look: this is what it was with Labour and Corbyn in the 2010s. It’s what it is now. They’re just racist wingnuts, it really is not much more complicated.

You see in the Media outrage that a Political Party would dare stand against Israel. But no outrage at all for all the other parties who refuse to acknowledge a Genocide and in fact support it. The whole corrupt 'British' Media establishment belongs to Israel.

I hate to RT an RT but this really is the situation: the maximum permissible position is the Lib Dem one, in which they agree this is genocide but seem to think nobody should do anything about it. That is the extreme outer limit of possibility in Britain, for our political/media class.

I do have to underline this: Johnson might have been more obviously corrupt, insulting, stupid and clearly disastrous, but a lot of people liked him and he had a massive chunk of the electorate onboard with his bullshit. Almost nobody liked or wanted Starmer, McSweeney or Mandelson. And yet

Starmer’s Labour is IMO probably the most bleak, idiotic, damaging fraud to be perpetrated against the electorate in this country. An obvious no-talent assclown, a Derek Zoolander figure used by the most vicious and cynical swine in politics, forcefully shoved into office by the British press.

The Green vote has gone up by 3.5% on the combined Green/Andrew Feinstein vote of 2024. The Labour vote is down 3.7% . This is in the Burnham bounce and +during intense media focus on Polanski. Will Burnham's Labour get more popular ? Or will Polanski's Greens get much less popular? Nothing is fixed

I assume this is a bombshell because a real person who matters has said it, because it was absolutely crystal clear at the time that he didn’t give a fuck and the IDF were implementing the programme of destruction and mass slaughter they had been itching to put into practice for many years.
