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 that would be truly great, and I know this is more of a philosophical thought than something that could be done, but is there a break down of who these people are somewhere, so we could see how feasible it really would be if by chance some governments agreed to do this?
