The type of action that grows out of such networked protest movements is different from that taken by … hierarchal organisations: it is sporadic, voluntary, time limited. At the point you don’t like it you break off; at the point it gets taken over, infiltrated, derailed, you stop and start again. (Paul Mason)
![Page 19: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
…what critics miss is the absolute congruence between modern work and this horizontalism, or networked organisation... Indeed… horizontalism mirrors in great detail the way people exist at work, and the way they actually work. It is the new structure of the corporation that forces us to live these multiple lives… (Paul Mason)
![Page 20: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
These movements are …trying – consciously or unconsciously – to form a counter-power within capitalism. …to carve out alternative, more civilised, more self-controlled social spaces.... (Paul Mason)
![Page 21: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Financial transactions tax (Robin Hood Tax) and tax justice campaigns are not about endorsing current capitalist system, but are means to curb speculation and redistribute wealth from the 1% to the 99%.
![Page 22: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Global forces of neoliberalism that undermine the
common good require globalized forms of resistance
and alternate solutions.

There’s class warfare, all right, but it’s my class, the rich class, that’s making war,
and we’re winning.
-Warren Buffet (world’s third wealthiest person in 2011)

The great tax robbery
Many companies paying tax rates less than half what they paid
in 1960s and 1970s.

Loss for the common good
Tax Justice Network estimated that assets held offshore, beyond the reach of effective taxation, are equal to about a third of total global assets, about $21 trillion - $32 trillion. Over half of all world trade passes through tax havens.

FTT / Robin Hood Tax
If applied globally, a financial transactions tax at a rate of .01%
could raise over USD $1 trillion per year, or 2% of global GDP.

EU FTT - January 11, 2013
Green light to proceed with implementation of a financial transactions tax under EU’s Enhanced
Cooperation Procedure
![Page 50: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
European Union FTT / Robin Hood Tax
11 = Austria, Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Portugal,
Slovenia, Slovakia, Spain
+ possibles - Czech Republic and Croatia
![Page 51: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
Estimated that FTT will raise €34 billion annually
across the 11 EU countries
![Page 52: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Impact of financial crash - Ireland From budget surplus of 1.2% of GDP in 2006 Ireland incurred a budgetary deficit of around 30% of GDP in 2011. Public services slashed and privatized. Unemployment rose from 6.5% in July 2008 to 14.8% by June 2012. The FTT could help turn the tide.
![Page 53: Teresa marshalls ftt tax justice networking presentation for 5th kef](https://reader031.vdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022020419/568bd8521a28ab2034a2ee16/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
What’s in it for Ireland?! Estimates of FTT return of 700 million to €1.8bn annually A broad-based FTT could add over 3% of current government revenues – a significant boost to the Irish exchequer.

Irish people need not lose out on their fair share of a financial
transactions tax Opportunity to mobilise now for Ireland to ‘opt-in’ to the EU FTT

Civil society and labour voices
Irish Congress of Trade Unions has called for the FTT to deliver a ‘fair and substantial contribution from the financial sector.’
