»Einmalige Steuer auf Pandemiegewinne für Milliardäre könnte COVID-19-Impfungen für die ganze Welt finanzieren«
Aufruf von Oxfam und anderen Hilfsorganisationen, 12.8.2021 (engl. Originalfassung)
A one-off 99 percent levy on billionaires’ wealth gains during the pandemic could pay for everyone on Earth to be vaccinated against COVID-19 and provide a $20,000 cash grant to all unemployed workers, according to new analysis released today by Oxfam, the Fight Inequality Alliance, the Institute for Policy Studies and the Patriotic Millionaires. The organizations are calling on governments to tax the ultra wealthy who profited from the pandemic crisis to help offset its costs.
