Petitioning UN, IMF, World Bank, G20
We need a Global Wealth Tax

Petition by
Richard Parncutt
Graz, Austria

National governments cannot pay their debts, a billion people are living in poverty worldwide, and urgent warnings about climate change are being ignored. In all three cases, the main problem is money. But the money is available - in abundance. Economic globalization and technological developments are making the rich megarich. Worldwide, there are now over a thousand US$-billionaires. As concerned citizens across the world, we call on relevant global organizations such as the UN, IMF, World Bank, and G20 to negotiate a global agreement to tax all wealth - including all companies, funds, and wealthy individuals - at a single rate of about 1% per year, in addition to existing non-wealth taxes. Exceptions should be limited to genuine non-profit organizations and individuals whose assets are less than about US$ 1 million.

Tell him to write a symphony about globull warming. But lay off these death threats. People are not in a good mood over here about murderous nuts ever since Sandy Hook.
