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 I really, really don't understand how fearful and greedy the ultra rich are. Seriously, if I could do that and make like so much better for others? Why is it even a question?
