Fight Inequality Alliance and many of our allies have been pushing this agenda nationally and globally for several years, achieving some progress. The demand to Tax The Rich is part of the Peoples’ Alternatives mission.
At the core of a new economic system must be a redistribution of wealth from the richest to the poorest globally, and within our societies. People are demanding universal public services, for women’s unpaid care work to be rewarded and redistributed, and for those most responsible for climate change to pay for the action needed to reverse its effects. The richest individuals and companies in our societies must pay their fair share as part of how power and wealth must be redistributed in our societies and globally.
