The economy belongs to everyone. We all participate in it and we are all obliged to pay our fair share. But not everyone is contributing: despite the cost of living crisis which is squeezing us all at the end of the month, billionaires have increased faster than ever and multinationals have raked in extreme profits at the expense of the most vulnerable. Yet their tax burden is close to zero. <\/p>\n<\/div>

Give the billions back to the millions<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>
\n

We cannot afford an economy that favours billionaires, shareholders and multinationals over workers, families and the planet. Having fair societies where everyone contributes proportionately is not a dream, it can be a reality. All it takes is the political will to put the billions at the service of the millions. All we need to do is change the rules of the game. So that those who have the most, contribute the most.<\/p>\n<\/div>

Tax the rich<\/h2>\n<\/div>
\n\n<\/div>

We can and we must start taxing the wealthiest individuals and shareholders. Workers cannot be the ones that pay the highest tax rates in our societies while those who have the most hide their wealth in tax havens or store it right in front of our eyes in mansions and luxury items. <\/p>\n<\/div>
