Dear fellow Europeans, I am respectfully asking you to consider signing this European Citizen Initiative to institute a billionaire tax. It was invented by leading French economist Thomas Piketty; I read the whole thing, and it is technically excellent. Hit me if you have questions, but please sign it, it is important.
It needs 1 million signatures (currently 300K) and seven countries over their threshold (currently three: Denmark, France, Germany).

@alberto_cottica I don't know how many more people we can get to sign here on Masto. Maybe we should coordinate to send this same message on the other SNs in a burst? What about posting on all of them this Sunday 19:00 UTC (20:00-22:00 across the EU) so it becomes trending on Monday morning? Does it work like that? I don't have accounts on any other but Masto, so I don't know...
