Ethical taxes would represent the democratic and mediated rights of diverse interests, not the obscene growth in inequality and injustice that benefits the ultra rich and their corrupt governments! #UltraRichTaxCon #UltraRichEcocide #DemocracyIsBroken #UltraRichBenefitCheats #EthicalRights #TheStatesperson ? https://www.thestatesman.com/opinion/great-con-ii-1503048312.html
