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
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.
Maybe they don’t hate the rich?
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.
Usually by starting a company that produced valuable goods and services benefitting everyone and profiting off of it.
You can also gamble but thats by definition a losing game
sounds quiet unusual to be honest
Hey ho I have a paper for you
…note no skill required. Conversely, hustling won’t get you there.
So we don’t even have to hit millionaire kids. Inheriting 5-10 million a head is fine, systemically speaking. And if you think that your kids are better off with more money I sincerely feel sorry for you.
You didn’t read that paper. From fast skimming I can clearly see that their simplified model didn’t check for impact of skill at all.
It says nothing about real world except there’s a wealth concentrating factor of being ahead. Other factors are ignored
The key thing is that this paper looks at generational wealth accumulation. Even if families which consistently churn out stellar business people were in any way common (data says otherwise) that effect is still completely overwritten by already being ahead. As a billionaire kid, the extent of business skill you need to have to not lose everything is to hire people who have business skill and then slurp Caipirinhas on your yacht from your ample, ample dividends. And if you lose everything, well, you’re losing it, on aggregate, to other billionaires, so wealth concentration still proceeds.
