One of Oxfam’s suggestions has been a wealth tax. It estimates that a tax of just 1.5% on the wealth of the world’s billionaires, if implemented just after the financial crisis, would have saved 23 million lives in the poorest 49 countries, by providing them with money to invest in healthcare.
The fissure between the wealthiest of the wealthy and poorest of the poor has increased so rapidly that in 2014, a tax of 1.5% could fill the annual funding deficits needed to put every child in school, and deliver health services to the poorest countries.
Earlier this year, a report from Oxfam, showing that the wealth of those 85 richest people around the world equals the assets held by half of the world’s population, went viral. Also see ‘Rich Kids of Beverly Hills’ has a message for Davos leaders.
Maybe a billionaire tax is a plausible solution. Renowned billionaires Warren Buffett and George Soros, in the past, have called on Congress to raise estate taxes.
Economists, like Piketty, also have favored the notion of a wealth tax.
