I completely agree. Where is the text of specifically what is being asked for? I followed the links but couldn't find it.

I'm now only on mobile. Let me check, when at home on my computer.

Thank you! So they mention the 1% but nowhere mention the threshold or target amount over which people get taxed, correct?

Mina

@mmm

Of course not!

Setting such figures would be obviously part of the legislative process.

However, in the initiative's FAQ (link below), it is stated that threshold should be set according to the member states' own economic situation, making clear that a family home and liquid assets of about €1M should not be taxed as "wealth".

Great. Sounds good. Thank you.

To help with this, I can of course repost. But which countries does the effort most need help with?

@mmm

Every vote counts, but Belgium, Spain and Italy are the closest ones to pass their national thresholds. So focussing on these, makes sense.
