Part 5/9:
The Call for Wealth Taxation
A critical part of Stevenson’s argument is centered around taxation. He proposes a wealth tax that targets individuals with assets exceeding 10 million pounds. He makes it clear that this isn't about taxing ordinary working people but about ensuring that those who have accumulated excessive wealth contribute fairly to the economy. Stevenson believes that taxing wealth, including properties and stocks, would allow for redistribution of resources that could help alleviate the burdens on the middle class.
