Extreme wealth and extreme poverty have increased simultaneously for the first time in 25 years. Billionaire wealth is booming, while millions struggle to survive. Let’s end this era of #SurvivalOfTheRichest. It’s time to #TaxTheRich to #FightInequality.

Funny if you do make more or get a nice raise it’ll bump your tax bracket and you’ll pay more in taxes so does that raise actually help? No

Hello Gary. This is true for the majority of people, but not true for the super-rich. Over the past 40 years governments have rigged the tax system so that the 1% pay as little as possible, while shifting the burden of tax onto the rest of us.

Not sure that this is going to help because the super rich have always been able to move their money.
I think that you need to be looking at a framework of policies to tax income better, to support wage negotiations and control the cost of living.

Let’s end the era of Blacklisting countries responsible for <5% of global tax losses & hold the largest tax secrecy jurisdictions to account (the US, Switzerland, Singapore, Hong Kong, Luxembourg, Japan & Germany) - none of whom have ever been blacklisted or otherwise penalized!!
