    I don’t get whats going on with e.g. Poland. Like literally I don’t understand it. Under 5%. Is this a cultural thing? Or was it simply not promoted enough?

    Meanwhile france close to 200 freaking percent. Germany 150.

    It’s completely incomprehensible to me how something like this can’t be massively successful. We should already have three times the necessary votes by now

        Fully agree. I have been able to collect some signatures among my friends and relatives (in Germany). Unfortunately, I don’t know how I could help in other countries / languages. At most with upvotes of the relevant posts and in general spread the word.

        And I have just noticed that the initiative’s website (https://www.tax-the-rich.eu/) with all the important information is only available in 6 languages. Polish is not included. That could be a reason. Things like this are an oversight we need to address (next time…).
