BradleyWhitford First question: Are they responsible ?
Poor subbing? '$83Bn which is greater than GDP of any one of hundreds of countries ' actual there's no 'hundreds of countries' in the world, just 193 according to UN
Sadly these billionaires and other rich folk pay find loop holes to avoid paying their fair share and are more interested in increasing their wealth than doing whats right or fair.
This article is confused; mixing up inequality with coronavirus and large tech. And the solution of wealth tax would go to America since the names mentioned all reside there. Little benefit to the UK. The article just incites hatred of wealth. Poor journalism.
Lol politics of envy from the Guardian. Always someone else should pay. Normally those who work hard and are successful should pay for those who don’t. They earned their money and it is up to them to decide how they spend it.
There are 3 centibillionaires in the world, and 1 of them (Gates) is already giving away his money. The wealth of the other two (Bezos and Zuckerberg) totals around £220bn. That won't even fund the UK's budget deficit this year. What about all the other countries?
You're going to get metric pedants telling you centi- is the prefix for a hundredth and it should be 'hectobillionaire' instead.
This is called theft
You think they aren’t already helping pay? And far more than most.
