I FIND it abhorrent that when half the world is starving that one per cent of the world’s richest should have accrued 99 per cent of the world’s wealth and that there are governments still trying to make them make more.
There should be an international wealth tax which the super rich pay into dedicated funds to wipe out poverty and starvation worldwide.
Even if they did that the super rich are so well off they wouldn’t notice the difference, so let’s get started.
