Should the ultra-wealthy pay more tax?

It’s a debate that’s continued for decades, even centuries. From Ancient Athens to present day, the idea has been a constant when it comes to addressing inequality.

Yet, no government has been brave enough to impose one.

It’s a staple of the Green Party’s proposed Budget, which promises bold moves to make sure everyone has a warm home, decent kai, and the care and support for a good life.

But who pays? And is leaning even more left than centre doing wonders for the party’s polling?

Today on The Front Page, Green Party co-leader, Chlöe Swarbrick is with us to discuss whether it’s time for the wealthy few to fund.
