I’m a millionaire – this is why I’m at Davos begging to pay more tax | Phil White

Now I’m calling for the world’s richest people to pay their fair shareAs a member of Patriotic Millionaires UK, I’m a self-confessed wealthy individual who spends a lot of time repeatedly asking the government to increase taxes on my wealth and the wealth of people like me.This week, that message has brought me to snowy Davos, where the World Economic Forum (WEF) meets annually to discuss major economic concerns. The current theme of “cooperation in a fragmented world” sounds great, so why did I feel it necessary to join a protest hike against it?
