According to a new report from Oxfam, global dividend payouts to the ultra-rich are higher than ever, while workers’ wages rose by just 3 percent between 2020 and 2023. As income inequality continues to widen, it's time to institute a global tax on millionaires and begin holding corporations accountable.
