"Our spending money shrank — so it’s no surprise the economy did too."

GDP growth in Q1 was hailed as a turning point.
But with two months of contraction, high inflation, and flatlining wages, the recovery feels like a lie.

Here’s what needs to change — now.

Vox Political · Osborne wants a ‘year of hard truths’. Here’s one: He’s HIDING the truthBy Mike Sivier

Late at night, when the house is quiet and the stress creeps in — ask yourself:

Why does full-time work still leave so many of us struggling to live?

It’s not because benefits are too high — it’s because wages are too low.

And that’s no accident.

New tax reforms if ChatGPT replaced Treasurer Jim Chalmers

Tired of hearing there's no money for housing, healthcare or climate action? Here's what a fairer system could look like — one that finally includes everyone, not just everyday consumers:

💼 National Turnover Levy
Big business pays a tiny 0.2% on gross revenue (not profit). If you're pulling in $100 million+, you can chip in. No more creative accounting to dodge the system.

🏢 Corporate Minimum Tax
Multinationals must pay at least 15% on Australian income. No more booking profits in Bermuda while using our roads, workers and infrastructure.

🌐 Digital Services Tax
Platforms like Google, Meta, Netflix, and Amazon pay 3% on local revenue. If they make billions off Aussie users, they should contribute something real.

📈 Financial Transactions Levy
Micro-tax on large stock trades and derivatives. Designed to rein in speculative churn and make the finance sector part of the national effort.

🛥️ Expanded Luxury Tax
Cars over $75k, watches, art, boats, and second homes above $3 million get taxed harder. Because yachts shouldn’t be cheaper to tax than bread.

🧾 GST Compliance Overhaul
Mandatory real-time reporting for businesses over $1m turnover. AI audit trails to stop GST rorts. Less fraud, more hospitals.

💰 This isn’t radical — it’s overdue. If working people have to pay their fair share, so should the rest.

I Left The U.S. For China — Here's How Much It Costs

youtube.com/watch?v=e9v2wBwDXl

Aleese Lightyear, 35, traded a hectic NYC life for China and now lives large on $30K a year. She pays $278/month for her downtown apartment, she’s thriving in Chengdu, paid off her student loans and is now saving up to $1,000/month. She’s hoping to purchase a beach house in Mexico next. Here’s how she did it.

On June 19, 1865, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their #freedom—two years after the #EmancipationProclamation. #Juneteenth is a reminder that #justice delayed is justice denied.

Today, we honor the resilience of all who have fought for freedom. But we also recognize that the struggle is ongoing for #truefreedom: #economicjustice, #votingrights, #healthcare, #livingwages, and #dignityforall.

AND WHAT IF WE ALL JUST TOLD THE TRUTH?

That equity is easy; it’s just never been a priority.

That poverty is manufactured to keep the wealthy at the top.

That homelessness is a policy choice.

That the economy isn’t complex; it’s controlled and manipulated.

That you can’t afford a home, because the rich are hoarding them.

That hunger persists because capitalism doesn’t see feeding people as valuable.

That supermarkets exploit us, because food is a business, not a right.

That ecological collapse continues because stopping it threatens someone’s bottom line.

That billionaires exist because exploitation is legal and encouraged.

That we don’t live in democracies - we live under oligarchies dressed up as freedom.

That the system gaslights you, every time it blames you for the struggle it created.

That you can’t self-improve your way out of structural oppression.

AND THE BIGGEST LIE???

That nothing can change.

The truth...

Redistribute wealth.
Reclaim power.
Resource the people, not the elite.

It isn’t complicated.
It’s just constantly blocked by the top.

LET'S START TELLING THE TRUTH.

Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Rep. Brendan Boyle have a bold plan! They’ve reintroduced the Medicare and Social Security Fair Share Act, targeting high-income earners for increased contributions. This crucial legislation proposes removing the cap on taxable earnings and raising the Medicare tax rate for those earning over $400,000. Advocates stress the urgency of protecting these essential programs. For full details, click here: alternet.org/democrats-social-

"The last pope named Leo, Leo XIII, issued the first social encyclical, Rerum novarum, in 1891. In it, he argued for the rights and duties of workers in the context of the Industrial Revolution, including the right to work, the right to a just wage, and the right to form unions.

Nobody expected the Church at that time to do that."

Eric LeCompte, executive director of Jubilee USA Network, says that he expects Leo to “follow the path that Francis set to build a more inclusive and transparent Church."

"'The selection of the name of Leo XIV is a special acknowledgment of the need to support the poor and workers,' LeCompte added."
