What the petition asks
10% tax on wealth of those over 100m instead of targeting those that are already struggling enough
This would raise well over 60 million which could be invested heavily into Social Care and others

The lowest paid workers have already suffered heavily during this pandemic they do not need to suffer anymore. The uk was promised that taxes would not be raised but this promise is now being broken, we want the government to stop taking off the poor and take it from the others that will not be affected by this change - the poor shouldn’t have to suffer anymore than they already have.
