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
Ideally we should massively share it in communities of the top 5 countries where the threshold wasn't reach.
So Denmark, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands and Slovenia.
But it's too late it end in 1.5 weeks.
Je viens de poster sur !belgique@jlai.lu, on verra si ça a un effet
Tu peux voir le feed temps réel sur le site.
Lol malta being last is so fitting.
If only the Italian man who went there taught them about class inequality
The petition also needs to go over 1million signatures. So French and Germans signatures help as well.
Already signed!
signed
Edit/commentary: I understand that this proposal is less than ideal, because "tax the rich" is not going to solve the problem. We need a reform of our basic principles of economy. But it's a sign that something must be done against the inequality.
Hadn't heard of this yet. I signed it.
Slovenia ahead of Croatia! Let's goooo, all I care about!
Only people living in Malta are billionaires
You think everyone wants this but that's just not the case
+1 from Belgium!
Interesting that every country that was in the Soviet bloc doesn’t want a bar of this
Europeans don't care. they just want to complain.
P.S signed
i believe they might not know that this is important and will affect folks who earn around 1000€ passively from interests... per day ^^
It's not that I don't care, I just haven't even heard about this until now.
Can someone tell me, where I can look up whether I have already signed or not?
Or do they remove duplicates automatically?
This is why they teach Spanish in American high schools /s
