Rich by the owners of Globo and Left, director of “I am still here” defends tax fortunes

Walter Salles defended the taxation of great luck in an event promoted by the newspaper “or Globo” in Rio.

By the way, Oscar’s director win the best foreign language film for “I’m Still Here” is richer than the three owners of the Globo group.

Heir of a banking empire, has $ 4.8 billion (R $ 26.2 billion), while each navy – Roberto Irineu, João Roberto and José Roberto – has 3.3 billion dollars (RS $ 18 billion), according to the ranking data of Forbes magazine.

“We have the opportunity to build a more just and more equal country, correcting the distortions of a system that, as we know, loads more than those who have the least,” said the director, according to the same “or globe”.

“I want to leave all my support for progressive taxation, my support for the taxation of great fortunes and democracy with tax justice”.

With political positions on the left and clear sympathy by President Lula, Walter Salles joins other billionaires willing to pay more taxes in the name of a better distribution of income and resources to the needy population.

In this group there are Americans Warren Buffett, George Soros, Abigail Disney, Karen Stewart and Stephen Prince, among others.

The position of the winner of the prize is relevant for its visibility in the media. Few Brazilian artists – and there are many with luck close to or greater than $ 1 billion – manifest themselves on disproportionality in the collection of taxes between rich and poor.

One of the few of which to speak is Luciano Huck, the main guest of Globo and owner of the highest salary of Brazilian TV (estimated at $ 5 million and $ 6 million per month). He has already defended the progressive tax and at the same time expressed concern about the departure of the country if there is greater taxation on inheritance and luck.
