We need taxes for all - also the super-rich.

"Tax the rich" is an official EU petition. The EU Parliament has to deal with it when successful.

7 EU countries must reach the quorum. And in total 1M Votes are needed. Check yours in the chart and share, cross post etc.!

The petition calls for the introduction of a wealth tax on very large fortunes. Sign the petition here

And the people in the middle? Sure, the people exploited for the production of those goods benefited a lot. The child forced to harvest coffee and chocolate really enjoyed the transaction.

It's fault of their governments

Really? The western companies exploiting them aren't to blame? The western companies that pay off people to look the other way? The western companies that organise military coups? The western companies that murder opposition? The western companies that send their trash to the country to destroy the market there?
