*[Enwl-eng] No one deserves to be living on less than $2 while the billionaire class grows ever larger

                        Billionaires must contribute their fair share of taxes.
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                       
                 
           
                        The Pandemic Made the World's Richest Richer, While Over 250 Million People Are Being Plunged Into Extreme Poverty!

                        While the vast majority of people on earth have suffered devastating economic losses in the past few years -- from the impacts of the pandemic, to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, to skyrocketing inflation --  a handful of the world's wealthiest are profiting handsomely. In fact, a whopping 573 new billionaires were added to the total tally over the course of the past two years. And while the world's ultra-rich continue to rake in more profits than the average person could possibly imagine, 263 million people will likely be pushed into extreme poverty this year, meaning they'll live on less than $2 USD per day.



                        Billionaires are so wealthy that they could never work another day for the rest of their lives and still live out the most luxurious life imaginable, while people who live in extreme poverty are facing chronic hunger, homelessness, and near total disenfranchisement. There is no reason countries participating in the World Economic Forum can't raise taxes on the wealthiest members of their society to benefit the poorest. In fact, in the United States, a lot of the wealthiest Americans actually pay less in taxes than the average person. Billionaires could not become billionaires without the people who work for them and buy their products. It's time they started acting like it.

                        P.S. The past two years saw hundreds of new billionaires, but hundreds of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty in the next year. Sign for taxes on the rich.
