  1. If governments were wise, the poor would not pay any taxes or VAT. It is enough to change international legal regulations. Let's put 24% Value Added Tax on derivatives trading. The world's derivatives trade is 20 times bigger than all other assets combined, up to 1.2 quartillion dollars and it is run by the holding companies that already have almost all the assets and money in the world and they have never paid a penny in taxes. If they paid, ordinary people who own only 4% of all the world's wealth, (who have paid all the world's taxes) would not pay taxes at all in the future. This is the only, fair change in society. Those who already have all the money will pay. The current liberal policy is not true capitalism, but a cancer of society. Capitalism does not require or mean avoiding taxes. As is happening now. This injustice is the biggest social inequality event at the moment, besides dictators, wars and other false propaganda.

  4. The statistic of people living in poverty was taken from the World Bank Statistic. How can this statistic be true when there are people who dont even have a bank account in 3rd world countries?

  5. I am from the future year 2326 to be precise. Things got way worse before it got better. Now we here from the future there is no pollution, no wars, no hunger, no violence and everybody as well as the environment is healthy. People develop their full potential and things are really great. Want to know what was the turning point? Well I know it is hard to believe but it was a scientific advancement. Scientists finally understood the cause of all problems was social inequality. It was actually doctors from the field of cancer treatment.

  6. Who REALLY is behind this "Agenda"? In what order are the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustained development being prioritised? If this bold initiative is being promoted by the wealthy, then I'm betting it's the economic one that's being prioritised. Greater GDP means more profitable businesses and corporations, and we all know that two big indicators of profits are innovation and worker productivity. It's interesting that improvements in the social realm lead to greater GDP. Let's hope the powers that be embrace that finding. Regardless, the current grossly inequitable distribution of wealth is not setting the climate for positive change whatsoever.

  7. Writing this on September 3rd, 2024 – we are 6 years away from these ambitious goals. If you see this, let’s make it happen. I’m building a tech company that is aiming to increase access to technology through an Airbnb model for renting electronics & affordable payment plans. I am building an online university in the name of my grandfather, that is free to earn any course, credit or certification in 30 days, educational system will be about teaching real life skills. I’m building more solutions, let’s connect and make this happen!!
