The petition is about getting enough signatures for the EU. France and Germany have already enough votes.
If the petition succeeds this could bring in a lot of money that is otherwise not used for the public.
Please sign for our climate and our future.An EU initative needs 1million sigantures and to meet a threshhold in seven countries to be passed. So if you are French or German, it is still worth signing it, to meet the 1million mark.
The French have been really great with this petition, showing the way.
It is a European Citizens’ Initiative, which enables EU citizens to promose laws to the EU Commission directly. The idea is of a wealth tax for the richest 1% to finance climate action. Given they are activly lobbying the EU for it, it is hardly greenwashing.
For US citizens there is another petition which you can sign : https://www.oxfamamerica.org/take-action/action-alert-tax-the-rich/
American billionaires are 33% richer than they were at the start of the pandemic, all while inequality has worsened and inflation has soared. Billionaires like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos pay a “true tax rate" of just 3% or less while working people around the globe pay far more.
Enough is enough. It’s time for the ultra-rich to pay their fair share of taxes.
Just a modest tax of up to 5 percent on the world’s richest individuals could bring in $1.7 trillion in a year, enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty.
Sign your name and demand that President Biden, Congress, and world leaders address the inequality crisis globally and here at home by making multi-millionaires and billionaires pay their fair share of taxes.
