#taxthesuperrich

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

At a time when the world is facing growing economic inequality and extreme impacts of the climate crisis, the idea that the super-rich can spend these vast amounts of money for a few minutes in space just to realise “we need to protect Mother Earth” feels incredibly out of touch.

The inequality and climate impact gap between the super-rich and the rest of us is widening, and space joyrides are the epitome of it.

We need to #TaxTheSuperRich now!

Greenpeace InternationalBillionaire joy rides to space: the ultimate symbol of privilege and pollution - Greenpeace InternationalWhile millions of people around the world are struggling to afford basic necessities, the super-rich and their friends are launching joy rides into space that cost tens of millions of dollars.

PSA to Jeff Bezos: ⁠
Women are being hit the hardest by the impacts of the climate crisis...maybe if you paid your taxes we could spend that money fixing the chaos faced by ordinary people, instead of making it worse.⁠

The money exists...let's get it working for everyone, not just the super-rich.

The world is battling deepening and interlocking polycrises. Record-breaking temperatures, extreme weather events and ecosystems on the verge of collapse. Billionaires on their way to being trillionaires, exerting more undue influence on our lives.

To save our planet, we must tackle the root causes of inequality.

It’s time to make rich polluting elites pay!

G20 leaders are meeting in South Africa to find solutions to global economic and financial issues. But they must face reality: the climate crisis and skyrocketing inequality are twin emergencies demanding urgent action.

For too long, this system has let the super-rich hoard wealth while those most affected by the climate and social crises pay the price. It’s a moral outrage.

It is time to make #TaxTheSuperRich a global reality.

How on Earth is it normal that billionaires grow richer every second while millions struggle to afford food, housing and survive climate disasters?

Inequality is out of control because our system rewards wealth with more wealth. This isn’t just unfair—it’s a feedback loop driving us toward collapse.

The ultra-rich and big polluters must pay.

(Facts and figures from Oxfam International’s 2022 Carbon Inequality Kills report.)

The tax money that billionaires are not paying could tackle the climate and environmental crises and ensure access to health and education that millions need and have the right to. This unreasonable concentration of wealth and power is putting ecosystems, democracies, economies, and millions of lives at serious risk.

Greenpeace InternationalWould the world change if we taxed the super-rich? - Greenpeace InternationalYou’re probably paying more taxes than the richest people on Earth. Why? Because, unlike you, the super-rich can evade paying their fair share.
