I think it might be a good idea to try and sort out what a global government might look like in the future.

I personally think ALL corporations should be taxed 50% of any profit made. That money would be funelled into a global human fund, which would provide everyone with a living wage, good social services, etc.

Can anyone do the math to see if it would work out?

Check this thread, by the way

Considering right now that the stated profits of several large multinational corporations vastly exceed the GDPs of many smaller nations, it only stands to reason that a decent tax regime would capture a lot of money that could be redirected to bettering the lot of people who live on less than $2 a day.

Cheers for the advice Dr! I love the thread! I wish there was a global organisation out there promoting this stuff, that we could all sign up for. Something with teeth.
