You\u2019re probably paying more taxes than the richest people on Earth. Why? Because, unlike you, the super-rich can evade paying their fair share. <\/p>\n\n
The tax money that billionaires are not paying could tackle the climate and environmental crises and ensure access to health and education that millions need and have the right to. This unreasonable concentration of wealth and power is putting ecosystems, democracies, economies, and millions of lives at serious risk.<\/p>\n\n
“You could have paid your rent if these extremely rich people had paid their taxes” said Carl Schlyter, the co-host of Greenpeace’s SystemShift<\/a>, the podcast that explores how we can move from a world that serves the economy to an economy that works for people and the planet.<\/p>\n\n This week, starting SystemShift season 3 with the first episode Would the World Change If We Taxed the Super Rich<\/em>?, we talked with Chenai Mukumba<\/a>, Executive Director of the Tax Justice Network Africa.<\/p>\n\n
