Paying Taxes: The Most Democratic Move You Can Make | Marlene Engelhorn | TEDxVienna

In this talk Marlene makes a case for taxing the rich. Marlene Engelhorn lives and works in Vienna. Expecting a large inheritance, she felt this injustice needed more thorough addressing. Alongside people from various backgrounds she explored inequality, politics and social justice. This led to advocating for redistribution in a transparent and democratic way: tax justice. Today, Marlene Engelhorn is a founding member of the German speaking initiative Tax me now, an initiative of wealthy people actively working for tax justice in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Tax me now focuses on initiating changes in the tax system and thus structural change for the system as a whole. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
