My Friday<p>🌱 Es ist Freitag. Klimafreitag. Und heute bohren wir ein ganz großes Brett, in dem einer der größten Hebel gegen die Klimakrise steckt: Vermögensgerechtigkeit.</p><p>Hast du auch das Gefühl, dass sich alles furchtbar schräg und falsch anfühlt? Dass Dinge auf dieser Welt passieren, die eigentlich in schlechte Filme gehören? Dein Gefühl trügt dich nicht. Es ist alles schräg und falsch. Und ganz viel davon hat damit zu tun, dass das Gefälle zwischen Arm und Reich immer schräger wird.</p><p>💰 Sowohl die Klimakrise als auch die Krise der Demokratie sind beide direkte Auswirkungen der Konzentration von Geld und damit Macht in den Händen Einzelner. Aber das ist kein Naturgesetz, es gibt Mittel dagegen. Eins davon ist die Vermögenssteuer. <br>Wie das alles zusammenhängt, warum wir dringend eine Vermögenssteuer brauchen und was du JETZT dafür tun kannst, kannst du in unserem heutigen Freitagspost nachlesen. Selten war ein Thema so wichtig wie dieses. Aber das Gute ist: Wir können was tun!</p><p>Los geht’s!<br>Hier geht’s zum gesamten Artikel: <a href="https://my-friday.org/hintergruende/vermoegenssteuer-und-klimakrise/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">my-friday.org/hintergruende/ve</span><span class="invisible">rmoegenssteuer-und-klimakrise/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/myfriday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>myfriday</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/klimafreitag" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>klimafreitag</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/klimagerechtigkeit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>klimagerechtigkeit</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/verm%C3%B6gensgerechtigkeit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vermögensgerechtigkeit</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/gerechtigkeit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gerechtigkeit</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/verm%C3%B6genssteuer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vermögenssteuer</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/steuern" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>steuern</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/taxtherich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>taxtherich</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/toxischerreichtum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>toxischerreichtum</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/%C3%BCberreichtum" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>überreichtum</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/steuergerechtigkeit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>steuergerechtigkeit</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/erbschaftssteuer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>erbschaftssteuer</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/superrich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>superrich</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/superreich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>superreich</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/klimakrise" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>klimakrise</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/m%C3%A4nnerdiedieweltverbrennen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>männerdiedieweltverbrennen</span></a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/fossillobby" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fossillobby</span></a></p>
