Robin Hood Tax
Glenn MacIntosh | February 10, 2010
From RobinHoodTax.org: "Turning a crisis for the banks into an opportunity for the world."
WHO WE ARE
"The Robin Hood Tax campaign is a movement bringing together dozens of organisations that work to reduce poverty in the UK and overseas, and campaign to tackle climate change. They have come together during the economic crisis to campaign for a new deal between banks and society."
HOW IT WORKS
"The Robin Hood Tax is a tiny tax on bankers that would raise billions to tackle poverty and climate change, at home and abroad.
By taking an average of 0.05% from speculative banking transactions, hundreds of billions of pounds would be raised every year.
That’s easily enough to stop cuts in crucial public services in the UK, and to help fight global poverty and climate change."
