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
But it also needs a minimum of countries (I think seven) to go over 100 % and only the votes of those countries which actually go over 100 % are counted.
“To be successful, a European citizens’ initiative has to reach one million statements of support as well as minimum thresholds in at least 7 countries.”
Sounds to me like all votes count, but only if it goes over 1.000.000. And that is the big hurdle here, if you multiply the current votes by 4 to get over a million you automatically have seven countries over the threshold.
