CAVOKWanted: 1m signatures for EU tax on super-rich
In reality, however, inequalities have persistently grown, to the point where today the richest 1% of the world’s population own almost half of the global wealth and that same 1% also emit more CO2 than the poorest half of the planet.
Dumb argument for a tax in the EU.
If you earn 45000€ or more per year (post-tax) you are in the 1%. (According to this)
That is a nice wage, but definitely not rich.
TorresI couldn’t find anywhere what they mean by 1%. If it’s as you say, and an annual income of €4500 is enough to be considered as such, then I think it would be quite excessive.
the richest 1% of the world’s population
If you earn 45000€ a year, which in many countries is just a bit above average, then you are richer than 99% of people in the entire world.
