We need taxes for all - also the super-rich.

"Tax the rich" is an official EU petition. The EU Parliament has to deal with it when successful.

7 EU countries must reach the quorum Check yours in the chart and share!

The petition calls for the introduction of a wealth tax on very large fortunes. Sign now

Ugh it's not gonna pass. There is only 1 out of 12 months left for collecting signatures and they're only at 25%.

Would love to but am only a resident :(

[-] 7eter@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

this is a petition by residents of the EU. https://eci.ec.europa.eu/038/public/#/screen/home

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

Citizens, not residents.

[-] 7eter@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

oh i am sorry

[-] The_Che_Banana@beehaw.org 2 points 2 months ago

No worries, we're in the process so a year or so more for our passports, we'll be able to vote in the next EU election cycle.

I voted for Czechia but I'm not sure if it makes much difference as we're far from reaching the threshold anyway...

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Also, I wonder what causes this split...

[-] 7eter@feddit.org 4 points 2 months ago

My guess is that it's mainly just missing Information?

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Yes but I wonder what is causing such a discrepancy

[-] 7eter@feddit.org 1 points 2 months ago

i wish i knew

As somone who lives in Poland: Marxism is not a thing here.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Hmm, that could be it. Although I support it and I'm a centrist

[-] BlackLaZoR@fedia.io 1 points 2 months ago

I support it and I'm a centrist

By supporting it alone, you'd be considered a far left there.

Yeah, in Hungarian news sites, I haven't seen it and besides, average voter is extremely skeptical about these kind of petitions

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Portugal is not eastern for sure. I'm pretty sure this hasn't been news anywhere and I've only seen talks about this petition on the fediverse.

Most people are used to get fucked around here I guess. Also there's the idea that many think they are the rich ones and don't consider these kind of things I guess.

Right wing brainwashing I guess helps.

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 months ago

Actually I like that it's a sort of race to see who gets there first

[-] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

Surely the Eastern bloc has a ton of EUthusiasts too...
