We need taxes for all - also the super-rich.
"Tax the rich" is an official EU petition. The EU Parliament has to deal with it when successful.
7 EU countries must reach the quorum. And in total 1M Votes are needed. Check yours in the chart and share, cross post etc.!
The petition calls for the introduction of a wealth tax on very large fortunes. Sign the petition here
Wealth, shown to scale
The question is: Why should I care?
is it fair being born with wealth that pays you a daily interest that others work for a whole month?
If this wealth was legitimately earned by your parents? Yes it is fair. Supporting your children is your sacred right.
Please explain how one legitimately earned 10 Million.
10millions is not an insurmountable amount if you are smart enough to get a good job and are smart enough when investing your money.
we are talking accumulated savings not turnover. Either way 10M is well above average lifetime earnings.
It's also way below what you can earn with a single album or game hit. Sportsball players. GRR Martin makes 10m from book sales each year.
No, those aren't average cases but they're also not examples of ill-gotten wealth.
