Every day we have more coming to light about the wealth hoarding of the richest 1%, recent stuff on the royal family, with offshore accounts to avoid paying taxes.

It seems that we are getting deeper into the unveiling of how deep unequality actually goes.
We ALL KNow this, but somehow, it is written in stone and everyone just exists within the PARAMETERS of UNEQUALITY.

See if you can access links to this petition. However I am not sure what side of the fence G20
stands.  Seems G20 is probably just an organisation for the wealthy and in that case will only
be plotting to make strong the old paradigm of unequality.

The former Prime minister says here, that in 2009 he tried to end the injustice of global tax
havens, OBVIOUSLY he was unsuccessful> Why? How? Where? What?

What power has G20 got.

 G20 is an organisation of ." the leaders of the world's biggest economies," 

It is NOT THE GOVERNMENTS, or LAW MAKERS,  OR THE SO CALLED LEADERS OF COUNTRIES......no 

G20, THE LEADERS OF WORLD's BIGGEST ECONOMIES, in other words....

THE WEALTHY>>>>>that became that way by siphoning off money to tax havens...and other dark actitivies, war, slavery, drugs, etc... that they keep us blindsided from.

Not sure...but this might just be a rouse to make us think that SOMETHING is being done about it.

Do the research, see what you think....

Dear friends,  Eight years ago as UK Prime Minister and chair of the G20, I tried to end the injustice of global tax havens. But as the "Paradise Papers" leak shows, trillions are still being siphoned off to dodge tax in the most shadowy places in the global economy.  It’s one of today’s greatest injustices, allowing the richest to stand aside while the rest of us pay for health, education, and protecting the most vulnerable.  But now we have a chance to stop it -- through an international agreement that outlaws tax havens and imposes penalties and prison sentences on tax evaders. And the G20, the leaders of the world's biggest economies, can make it happen.  Please join me in signing this open letter to Argentine President Mauricio Macri, chair of the G20 -- if a million of us sign, I will personally deliver it to him, asking him and other G20 leaders to take urgent action to finish the job we began in 2009. Join with one click:   ADD MY NAME To President Mauricio Macri and all leaders of the G20:  The level of global inequality is appalling -- 8 people own as much wealth as half the planet.  And the gap is growing, thanks in part to the shadowy world of tax havens which lets trillions be siphoned offshore from our economies. Right now, the rich get richer, and the rest of us pay.  Eight years ago the G20 agreed it would shut down these practices. It's time to deliver. We call on you to act immediately to end tax havens and ensure that those that run and exploit them are held to account.  Nobody should be able to evade their duty to pay tax for the public good. It is your responsibility to make that so. As citizens from around the world, we demand action.  Sincerely,  ADD MY NAME Sign now with one click The G20 is the right home for this issue -- and has already made real progress in forcing tax havens to clean up their act. So there’s already momentum, and now the Paradise Papers give us the chance we’ve been waiting for to finish the job.  G20: shut down tax havens! As someone who was the target of Avaaz campaigns when I was Prime Minister, I can tell you that they make a powerful difference. This movement is driving forward the idealism of the world. This scandal gives us the chance to tackle one of the biggest challenges we face head-on -- let’s not waste it.  With hope and determination,  Gordon Brown, with the Avaaz team  MORE INFORMATION  Everything you need to know about the massive Paradise Papers leak (Vice) https://news.vice.com/story/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-massive-paradise-papers-leak  Reaction around the world to release of Paradise Papers – live (The Guardian) https://www.theguardian.com/news/live/2017/nov/06/reaction-around-world-release-paradise-papers-live  Just 8 men own same wealth as half the world (Oxfam) https://www.oxfam.org/en/pressroom/pressreleases/2017-01-16/just-8-men-own-same-wealth-half-world
