Tax. The. Rich. The World's Five Richest Men Have Doubled Their Riches Since 2020. Meanwhile, Many People Cannot Afford Basic Necessities. Tax the Rich!      Sign Now      Dear friends,   As we enter into the year 2024, we enter into the fourth year of the uphill battle of simply trying to survive after the COVID-19 pandemic first hit.   We don't just mean the struggle to keep ourselves and loved ones healthy — we also mean the struggle to afford the most basic necessities for us and our families. Groceries. Housing. Gas. Prices have continued to skyrocket and inflation has pushed many into desperate situations. But not everybody.   While most of us can afford less than ever, a new report from Oxfam shows that the five richest men in the world — including Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — have doubled their wealth since 2020.   700 million people live in extreme poverty around the world, surviving on just $2.15 or less per day. Even Amazon employees have reported needing government food stamps to get enough groceries to feed themselves. But the ultra-rich class continues to enjoy tax breaks and other awful loop holes that let them get richer while the poor get poorer.    This is a threat to democracy, to humanity, and to the very fabric of our society. Sign the petition demanding world leaders start taxing the rich appropriately and proportionately! Thank you, Lauren Care2 Petitions Team P.S. We're in a cost of living crisis, yet the world's richest men have doubled their wealth since the pandemic started. Sign the petition, tax the rich.      Sign Now
