A lot of wealthy are asking to be taxed. This from two days ago. The UK has its own group of super rich asking to be taxed more:
A group of millionaires is asking governments around the world to make them pay more in taxes to help narrow the wealth gap.In an open letter, 102 super-wealthy individuals said the current tax system is unfair and leads to an erosion in trust.
"Most of us can say that, while the world has gone through an immense amount of suffering in the last two years, we have actually seen our wealth rise during the pandemic — yet few if any of us can honestly say that we pay our fair share in taxes," said the group, which is backed by three separate organizations: US-based Patriotic Millionaires, Germany-based Tax Me, and Denmark-based Millionaires for Humanity.
Among the group members are Disney heiress Abigail Disney, who is a longtime advocate of higher taxes for the very wealthy; her brother Tim Disney; and early Amazon investor Nick Hanauer. The letter is signed by individuals from nine countries including the US, UK, Canada, and Germany.
