New research from @taxjustice.net shows that the "millionaire exodus" on the basis of tax reforms is a fiction, greatly undermining one of the main arguments against a wealth tax. Tax can be a tool for the common good and we urge the UK Govt to #TaxWealthMore to tackle inequality and raise revenue.
