Le mouvement en faveur de notre proposition prend de l'ampleur!

Brazil has made taxing the super-rich its rallying call for this year's G-20. With María Eloísa Capurro bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Back from the IMF/World Bank Spring meetings, where — six weeks after the beginning of the work at the G20 on a coordinated taxation of the super-rich — there was palpable 'tax the rich' energy in the room

A few notable developments 🧵

Le sénateur 🇺🇲 Bernie Sanders soutient la proposition de la présidence brésilienne du #G20 d'un impôt minimum mondial sur les milliardaires

'World leaders have a chance to raise taxes for rich people like me. I’m begging them to take it'

'Our proposal ensures that the super-rich cannot evade their fair share of income taxation; if they attempt to pay too little, a mandatory top-up mechanism will force them to contribute at least 2% of their wealth,' said Gabriel Zucman

Tax us, the super-rich!

Extreme wealth concentration is destabilizing democracies the world over, so the Patriotic Millionaires projected our message onto institutions the G20 Finance Ministers can’t ignore: the World Bank and the IMF in D.C.

We’d be #proudtopaymore

In Washington DC for a couple of events on international tax negotiations and climate finance. Much caution applies, but 2024 could be key for the future of global tax justice. What seemed impossible a year ago isn’t anymore: a few key G20 countries now back a billionaire tax.

“You ask me why we should tax the rich, at this particular point in time, why now? It’s obvious, it’s where the money is” Joseph E. Stiglitz #WBGMeetings

Such a pleasure to meet with minister Cuerpo this morning to discuss the path towards a coordinated taxation of the super-rich. The future of global inequality and the future of democracy are at stake. Onwards!

Excited to be in Washington DC, where G20 finance ministers are meeting for the 2nd time under Brazil’s presidency

The idea of a coordinated minimum tax on the super-rich is gaining momentum!

A few events to follow this week 🧵

Extreme wealth concentration can no longer be dismissed. Right now, there is unprecedented momentum for taxing the super-rich & tackling tax evasion.

NEW: my column this week is about the coming vibe shift, from Boomers vs Millennials to huge wealth inequality *between* Millennials.

Current discourse centres on how the average Millennial is worse-off than the average Boomer was, but the richest millennials are loaded 💸🚀

Aux Pays-Bas, les parlementaires de gauche, mais aussi de droite et les libéraux votent ensemble une résolution demandant au gouvernement de soutenir un accord international pour la taxation des ultras riches.

Yesterday, a large majority of the Dutch Parliament voted for a resolution asking the government to support coordinated efforts for a global tax on the very rich. This includes MPs from VVD (Renew), NSC (EPP), Groenlinks-PvdA (Greens/S&D), and SP (GUE/NGL).
