A 2% wealth tax on just 3 necklaces previously worn by celebrities to the #MetGala red carpet could fully fund NYC's home energy assistance programme. The Met risks artwashing the harms of extreme wealth by having Jeff Bezos as lead chair tonight. #TaxTheSuperRich taxjustice.net/press/2-tax-...
In Bezos’ case, it’s easy to see how undertaxed extreme wealth goes towards lobbying further against workers’ rights & pay, while his company Amazon remains one of the biggest recipients of US subsidies. #TaxTheSuperRich taxjustice.net/press/2-tax-...
The Met has long showcased art & fashion from across centuries that spoke truth to power, but this year’s #MetGala risks doing the opposite by artwashing the extreme wealth harming people, economies & planet today. Read the open letter: taxthesuperrich.world/wp-content/u... #TaxTheSuperRich
