The Robin Hood Tax



An idea so simple it's brilliant. Bill Nighy does a perfect job playing the role of the Banker here, showing his hesitance to agree with the plan, and his increasingly flustered state as he realizes that, of the banks, we would not be asking much of anything and it would take huge strides towards saving our poorest countries. He shows us both the simplicity of the plan and the only things stopping it - corporate greed.

I want this tax to happen. I would want it even if I were in the position of the banker. I would want this tax to happen no matter what.
