As the world suffers from corona and poverty, more than 100 of the world’s billionaires have volunteered to impose additional taxes on themselves.
In a public letter sent online to the World Economic Forum’s Davos conference, they made the request.
The letter emphasized that the current tax system was not fair and that it should make the rich richer and that all countries in the world should take action to ensure that the rich pay their due tax contributions.
The Organization for the Rich and Nonprofit estimates that by levying additional taxes on the world’s super-rich, it will earn about $ 2.5 trillion a year, or about 187 trillion rupees in India, and with this amount the world’s population could be vaccinated against corona, and 230 billion people could be lifted out of poverty. The study said.
In this context, it is surprising that 102 super-rich people from various countries, including the United States, Canada, Germany, Austria, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway and Iran, including Abigail Disney, the heir to the famous Disney Group, have demanded additional taxes.
