@rysiek@mstdn.socialIf you are a citizen of any EU Member State, I implore you to consider signing the Tax-the-Rich citizens' initiative:
https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/
The idea is to tax the super rich and then use the money for climate transition. 
This is an official EU citizens' initiative, meaning that if it reaches certain thresholds, it *will have to be* considered by the EU institutions. That's a really powerful tool, if actually used.
So we should use it. 
@rysiek@mstdn.socialYes, it's a JS-heavy website with a webdesign that makes my eyes hurt. Sigh, can't have nice things, can we?
You can skip right to the signing by going to the relevant Citizens' Initiatives website on europa.eu here:
https://eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/
Both sites seem to work fine in a Tor Browser, and the signing requires solving a self-hosted captcha (no Big Tech captcha involved, it seems), so at least that's good.
@rysiek@mstdn.social> It could never work, because the rich can move / have already moved their wealth elsewhere.
Any such issue is very complex. There are always several things that need to happen to "fix" them.
So, if you react like this to any single attempt — "this can't work, as there are other issues to solve first" — then nothing ever gets fixed.
That's basically nihilism. You do you, but if you are so certain it can't work, why even bother commenting on this at all? 
@rysiek Most countries tax their residents even if that wealth is outside the country. German tax authorities, for example, have been known to purchase evidence related to the Panama Papers release for the specific purpose of being able to levy taxes on people who live in Germany but tried to hide their wealth and income in an offshore site.
