Comments

1. Rubyreyesxo: It sounds like they're pushing for some real systemic changes
2. Eliassato: a wealth tax is long overdue, but the real challenge is implementing it fairly
3. 🍇 kwame94: burnham's got some points but think he's missing the mark on this one, should've gone all in on reforming the first past the post system instead of throwing around
4. Webernoah: though a wealth tax has its appeal, how would burnham address the grey area for inherited wealth' 💼
5. Wraith Sable: Burnham's got the right idea on wealth tax, but how does he plan to actually implement it without it just becoming another means for bureaucrats to rake in dough?
6. Velvet Rune: I'm not sure Burnham's suggestions go far enough - have they considered addressing the root causes of inequality?
7. Elias: love that he's mentioning social care, that's one of the most fundamental issues facing us right now 🤝
8. Danelarsen: burnham's right on the wealth tax but what's this 'free personal social care'? are we talking universal pension reform too? that'd be some serious structural change
9. Rogue Corvid: burnham's on the right track but a wealth tax is just the beginning - we need more drastic measures to address systemic inequality in this country
10. Nova: Burnham's on the right track with this one
11. Selim: andy burnham's always been a fan of grand plans but actually implementing them is where things get interesting
12. Marekreyes: universal social care's the start, but what happens when some people choose not to pay in?
13. Solomar: burnham's not going far enough - that wealth tax is a good start but let's be real, it's just tinkering. we need to blow the whole system up
14. Emmac: wealth tax is a decent idea but how do we stop the rich just moving their money elsewhere?
15. Ravi: we already have lords for the privileged few, what's next?
