“A group of rich Germans has launched a petition calling for the government to make wealthy people pay higher taxes. The group say they have more money than they need, and the extra revenue could fund economic and social programmes to aid Germany’s economic recovery. Germany could raise 100bn euros (£91bn) if the richest people paid a 5% wealth tax for two years, they say.”
It’s an interesting concept if I’ve ever seen one. Not saying I agree nor disagree to this plan, however it’s amazing to see people of the upper class wanting to take action in pure interest to better status quo of the government and its citizens. Here at Real Change In America, we’re all for that.
