Look at Donald Trump and his nervousness from Brucerach – and tell me that we do not need a wealth tax | Brian Cox
YOU can be forgiven to think that Donald Trump’s second coming was the imagination. Unfortunately, it is not the case – the threat he and the “Brugarsh” brings to people all over the world is very real. Last month, Trump was opened, surrounded by his rich friends, the seventy-seventh president, while his political supporters abroad sat in the cold-metaphor for those who really care about this presidency.
Among the groups were the three richest men in the world: Jeff Bezos, Mark Zuckerberg and the great dogs Elon Musk, personally He poured $ 277 million in Trump’s election campaign, Increase his wealth By 170 billion dollars as a result.
Money is equal to strength, so the proverb says, and now he plays on the world stage. As we know, Musk’s efforts to make Trump in the White House have gained a role heading to manage the new government competence – or Doug for his hesitation on the same name from the encrypted currency that he promotes.
A man born in wealth and distinction is to advise the president on how to protect the United States from its money, along with about ten other billionaire officials. Meanwhile, the rest of the world lives in economic fear, as the gap between the highly wealthy people and soon everyone becomes a gap.
These wealthy people are far from reality with reality, it is angry. Wealth is no longer related to the financial value, it relates to control – for democracies, societies, economies and the planet. They appoint Trump is just another example of how to attain equality and intense wealth to all of us.
Palm wealth billionaire It rose three times faster in 2024 From 2023, five trillion It is now expected during a decadeAccording to Oxfam data. Meanwhile, progress in global poverty has stopped. Unemployment is out of control.
On his first day at the White House, Trump signed a large number of executive orders, as he went back around the clock with each signature. He said he would do Just be a dictator on the first day. He will tell the time.
Soon after, Take the lead At the World Economic Forum in Davos between heads of state, politicians and businesses who have worked in the annual conference in God they know the cost of financial and environment. Trump appeared through the video link and spent most of the time to submit authoritarian demands and threats, such as a scene from the trainee. Again, this is not the TV. This is the real life. His decisions affect all of us.
I am a person who lived with both poverty and wealth-but people from my background are increasingly working, they will not be given the opportunities that I granted to me. Because wealth has become more focused, favoritism grows and the rest of the world is suffering.
At least some call it. Last month, nearly 400 million billionaires have signed a letter asking the leaders in Davos to take action regarding intense wealth-on the imposition of taxes on the wealthy people, like them. In his farewell speech, then US President Joe Biden warned of a lack of serious few. This should be an invitation to wake up to all of us-especially those who were elected to represent us.
Governments must address the obscene political capture that we are witnessing. One of the simple ways to do this is to impose taxes on the rich. These people are now running more than money. They run what we read, what we see, the information we provide, and in the end, how to vote.
Last year, the European Union Tax Observatory estimated that 2 % tax on billionaires It can raise up to $ 250 billion a year. About 3000 people will push it, and will make a big difference in their lives. For anyone else, it will start curbing extreme wealth and fighting against the increasing inequality that destroys souls around the world.
When the highly rich elite determines the results of the elections to protect its acquired interests and accelerate its profits, it is clear that we are in a terrifying era of wealth extremism.
Our leaders were lacking in the spine needed to curb the arrest of politicians and put ordinary people first. This cannot continue. It is time for us to look closely at what is happening, and how Trump makes a worse, worse – and finally their intention to draw the line.
