Susan Alfond and her brothers, Bill and Ted, each are estimated to have personal wealth of $3.4 billion, ranking them alongside a few other billionaires in 388th place on the list of 400.</p><p>[...]</p><p>"There are several other billionaires on this year’s Forbes 400 list with ties to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Maine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maine</span></a>, most of them because they summer at seasonal homes they own along the coast.</p><p>"The wealthiest of them is Edward C. Johnson IV, whose wealth is estimated to be worth $12.6 billion, ranking him as the 70th richest American. Johnson, whose grandfather, Edward C. Johnson II founded Fidelity Investments, has a summer home on Mount Desert Island, and his father, Edward C. Johnson III, long owned property and summered there.</p><p>"Edward C. Johnson III, who died in 2022, ran the investment firm until handing the reins to his daughter Abigail Johnson in 2014. Abigail Johnson ranks 30th on the Forbes list with an estimated wealth of $31.3 billion, but it is not clear if she or a third Johnson sibling, Elizabeth (who Forbes says is worth $10.6 billion), also owns property or spends summers in Maine.</p><p>"Other billionaires who rank on the Forbes list and own summer homes on MDI include brothers Stephen and Mitchell Rales, Charles Butt, and Robert Bass, each of whom has an estimated wealth roughly between $5 billion and $9 billion.</p><p>"John C. Malone, the founder of Liberty Media and one of the largest landowners in the country, owns Mosquito Island off Port Clyde and a summer home in Boothbay.

DoomsdaysCW<p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TaxTheRich" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TaxTheRich</span></a>, it’s a decent start</p><p>Posted by Bluebird | Mar 12, 2025 </p><p>"As incredible as it may seem, just a handful of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billionaire" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>billionaire</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Mainers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mainers</span></a> could fund the state for years out of their own pockets and still live out their lives as multimillionaires. So when socialists say tax the rich, we mean more than raising what billionaires pay by 1% or 2%, we mean raising their taxes by 25% or 50% or more to start with. We mean we should take back the wealth they have collected by exploiting all the people who have worked for them, all the land they have stolen, and all the resources they have grabbed all around the world. In the meantime, socialists often support smaller measures whenever we feel like they are a way to raise funds to help our class, raise consciousness, and build organization. </p><p>However, increasing taxes on the wealthy isn’t a permanent solution to the persisting problems of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/capitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>capitalist</span></a> society. It’s a good start, but it’s not enough. </p><p>[...]</p><p>"By all means tax [the wealthy] at a rate of 95%, 99%, 100%, 200%! Take back everything they have stolen from us. Truly solving the causes of social inequality cannot happen until the property of the capitalist class has been expropriated, but for the reasons explained above, simply taxing them at any rate will prove ineffective given enough time.</p><p>"Moreover, tax increases tend to antagonize capitalists. Sooner or later, as we are seeing very clearly now in Washington, they will transform their economic might into raw political power to claw back even the small social costs that generations of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SocialMovements" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMovements</span></a> and trade unions have imposed on them. During such times, as grim as our prospects may seem, it becomes clearer than ever that so long as the capitalists have all the power, even the most progressive public policy can only be temporary. </p><p>"How much longer will capitalist industry be allowed to <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pollute" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pollute</span></a> the planet? How many more times does the economy have to crash?
