Frankly, we are the beginning of an international movement where you have...

these proposals, these questions that are discussed in different countries, we need one country to lead by example, to step ahead and say, you know what?

We have public finance problems.

We have investment needs.

We need to invest in education, in healthcare, in our public infrastructure, which is at the core of our collective prosperity.

And we are going to do that

First, by taxing the super-rich.

It's not going to be enough, but it's necessary.

And you know what's going to happen?

If one country does that, it will demonstrate that you can get a lot of revenue.

For the UK, we're talking about 15 billion pounds per year from just taxing at 2% the wealth of the super-rich.

And the sun is going to keep rising in the morning, okay?

And then once one country does it, many countries very fast will stop doing it.

And that's how you create this international movement.

So you, you know.

It can be you.

And often the UK has led, you know, the UK was one of the first country to create a progressive income tax, 1909.

The UK was the first country to create the welfare state in 1945.

So now's the time to lead again.

Good luck to you too.
