Why Billionaires Fear This Economist

Gabriel Zucman is one of the world's leading economists studying wealth inequality, and what he's found is damning. His solution: a 2% minimum wealth tax on anyone with more than €100 million. As much as 86% of French people support it. 70-80% of Americans agree. The opposition? Roughly 3,500 billionaires and their armies of lawyers and lobbyists, plus the media companies they own. But here's the thing: we can win this fight. History shows that democratic forces have beaten oligarchic ones before with the creation of the income tax, the estate tax, the New Deal. It happened then. It can happen again. We're building the army to make it happen. APPLY NOW FOR OUR GLOBAL TAX FAIRNESS FELLOWSHIP → Go to: https://www.moralambition.org/fellows...
