Why the Rich Don’t Pay Taxes
"Tax wealth, not work.." Gary Stevenson
I don't usually speak on political subjects myself here, but I seriously can't recommend Gary's Economics enough
This video alone is everything
"I'm counting on [ordinary people] to support and share my message. Now, listen, for most of history, that has not worked. And, for most of history, ordinary families have lived in poverty. I don't think it's impossible that we, ordinary people, can win and get a fair share. But I think it's worth fighting for. . . So I fight for it anyway."
- Gary Stevenson
“(…) stop worrying about all of this red-blue-red-blue bullshit okay? It's red-blue-red-blue-red-blue and every single time you get poorer, and your kids get poorer, and the politicians and the wealthy people who fund them get richer and richer and richer and richer. Stop arguing about the right-left bullshit and start protecting your resources. Start protecting your wealth.”
“Follow the money. Who is getting richer? who is getting poorer? Whose taxes are going up, whose taxes are going down? Who is finding it harder to buy a house, who is buying 10 or 20 houses? Follow the money. Look at the distribution.”
“(…) your grandparents and your great-grandparents lived in poverty. And they fought for generations (…). And that is the reason why you don't have to live in the kind of poverty that they lived in. Because they came back from the war and they demanded food, housing, education, healthcare and they got it.”
“And they got it by taxing the rich. They understood that the only way to protect working people was to tax work less and wealth more. You need to fight that same fight. (…) They demanded that instead of the rich getting richer and richer every generation, wealth flowed back to the working classes. And they recognized you do that by taxing the rich.”
- Gary Stevenson
If you're not following Gary's Economics on Instagram, please do - he explains why ordinary people are in the shit, and why we're being made to wallow in deeper and deeper shit on a daily basis while the rich just keep on getting richer.

I felt weirdly optimistic about humanity for a minute there reading the comments section on this video
(which I only ran across because of this entirely batshit interview he did with the Guardian:
I may be wrong, but I just feel like the only reason giant unheld baby Andrew Tate is kicking off about Gary Stevenson is because the disenfranchised young men who gobble up Tate’s empty words only do so because they had no other option—not one worth mentioning, anyway.
Gary Stevenson talks like a normal human being. He allows himself to show frustration—a frustration he could quite easily ignore and just get on with his life. He has ‘flaws’, at least by the standards of the slick, soulless types you see all the time—i.e. he expresses human emotion.
Again, I may be wrong, but I feel like Stevenson actually has the ability to talk to people who are deeply disenfranchised because he doesn’t speak in empty waffle that only serves himself and his crypto wallet. And he doesn’t spend his time, like so many middle-class ‘leftists’, attacking the idea of a ‘British identity’—or really, everything a working-class man might still hold dear.
He has more integrity than Andrew Tate… though frankly, so does a cucumber.
But more than that—Stevenson isn’t just engaging with people who care about looking morally spotless. He’s trying to actually talk to people who’ve been shut out of every conversation that matters.
