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
This is probably why Switzerland is not in the EU. LOL.
I'm not against this initiative per se. But this is just another tax on middle class people and doesn't tackle the real wealth being hidden in multinationals that don't pay any tax and hold governments hostage by threat of moving their employment away. They are the problem. They pollute like no other because no one is ever held accountable.
