“We are also the people who benefit most from the status quo,” they said in a letter titled Proud to Pay, which they will attempt to deliver to world leaders gathered in Davos in Switzerland on Wednesday. “But inequality has reached a tipping point, and its cost to our economic, societal and ecological stability risk is severe – and growing every day. In short, we need action now.” https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/jan/17/wealth-tax-super-rich-davos-abigail-disney-brian-cox-valerie-rockefeller
'Status Quo' being the key word,,,,,,, In other words Tax me but I will not pay people better. I will bribe the governments to keep the status quo....
They now realize the pitchforks are coming and not just here, world wide...They know the global race to the bottom is nearing its end.......So, bribes are in order, not a change in the status quo...Not a return to stakeholder theory, not an end to citizens united, so on and so forth....Lets keep the corrupt ways, take this tax money and leave us alone instead.......
They should have been paying their fair share all along.....Our government and politicians should have stood up to them and corporate interest long ago....
Good to see you too 12 indeed and thanks for the snow, we now have to import that too ;) (Side note on that,,where I live, no one would dare live here full time 40yrs ago, there would be weeks at a time they couldn't get out of the valley during winter)
