That's why taxes exist. But since our gouvernents are lead by corrupt bastards...

That's because rich people aren't good people.

They've won the propaganda war convincing the majority that low tax = freedom and prosperity. However, the period of post-World War 2 social improvement was characterised by VERY high taxes for the rich.

The threshold for "rich" here seems extremely low. £45K household income? Two people on £23K exceed that.

Always have been, hell they are the cause of most of the problems.

We know this. That's why we taxed the shit out of them but gave out breaks on public works projects like museums and schools. Why hasn't elon built 1 school yet? 1 library? Anything??

....there is the guillotine...

Huh

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.

Dumbass rich people think the poor are their slaves.

Rich people are the world’s problem.
