We are all equal in a democracy. Or at least, we should be. But the rich enjoy more privileges than the rest of us. How can a wealth tax make sure that everyone lives with dignity? Aren’t we punishing those who work hard by proposing its imposition? What does the Constitution say about it, anyway? Will our lawmakers even support this policy? And how is it a means to prevent corruption? Political scientist Cleve Arguelles answers these questions and more in this episode of Teka Teka.
The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung Philippines supports this episode of Teka Teka as part of its work to strengthen democracy and promote social justice through partnerships with civil society, trade unions, youth movements, and other democratic actors.
