By the way, a tax of up to 5% on the world’s multi-millionaires and billionaires could raise $1.7 trillion/year.

That would be enough to lift 2 billion people out of poverty and fund a global plan to end hunger.

We can't afford NOT to tax the rich.

@rbreich taxes don't fund spending. We could end poverty already without any new taxes. We've chosen not to and you're making it easier when you say that taxes are needed to nake it happen. #mmt

Really recommend the little book by @scottsantens called Let There Be Money
