The Robin Hood Tax

I first came across this on David Chambers’ Pax et Bonum blog. Just the name in the title, Robin Hood, was enough to get me interested. But it does seem to me that the whole idea and the ethos behind it is worth supporting; so I’ve signed up too.

A tiny tax on bankers that would give billions to tackle poverty and climate change, here and abroad.

This tax on banks — not you or I — has the power to raise hundreds of billions every year. It could give a vital boost to the NHS, our schools, and the fight against child poverty in the UK — as well as tackling poverty and climate change around the world.

Not complicated. Just brilliant.
