| Barack Obama, Gordon Brown, Warren Buffett and George Soros all agree on one thing. This is rare. The super rich rarely agree with left-of-centre national leaders. It is even rarer for the super rich to call for a new tax. But Buffet and Soros are unusual. All four men support a financial transactions tax.
Such as tax would be a very small impost, perhaps about 0.05 per cent, that would be levied on all financial transactions globally. It would generate a torrent of funds, a veritable waterfall.
Revenue estimates vary, but reliable suggestions of more than $US500 billion ($555 billion) annually are common. These funds could do so much good: build reserves to insure against future financial crises; finance the adaptations required to combat climate change; more than halve global hunger and poverty in the next decade; and still have money left over to improve drinking water and health care in poor countries.
