From Frances Langum:
A panel on inequality tells the billionaires at Davos what they DON’T want to hear: “Pay your damn taxes.”
This wasn’t what Davos had in mind.
The panel was billed by the organizers as “Economic inequality continues to drive a populist backlash against a status quo that favours elite. How can policy changes and technological innovations change this dynamic?”
In other words, not how do we change policy to bring economic equality, but how do we stop the populist backlash against the status quo?
This panel wasn’t playing at that.
Historian Rutger Bregman was adamant: the wealthy need to stop avoiding taxes.
