      I don’t get why the countries don’t all join forces to push wealth taxes at the same time… Suddenly the loop holes close and either the countries get huge funding to fix their economies, or the wage thieves take their money back and pay it all back to the workers they stole it from.

        There was a push for an international minimum tax rate from some guy. But that guy was old and so people decided to replace that old guy with an old guy that’s a billionaire, but because he’s crazy he doesn’t seem as old I guess. But anyway, it’s highly doubtful something like that will happen any time soon.
