In the UK, only 28% of high-income households surveyed in 2025 said they agree their taxes should go towards solving global problems – a huge drop from 41% in 2024. Low-income UK households (earning £14,999 per year or less) polled in the opposite direction and were actually more likely to agree than last year, while those on medium incomes (between £15,000 and £44,999) have stayed the same.

I'm all for eat the rich, but the question specifically was about global problems. It doesn't really surprise me that people are less inclined to want to solve global problems if they see local problems that they think should be the priority. Maybe I'm giving people too much credit.
