44 rich Germans say they are taxed too little

BBC News 10/23: A group of rich Germans has launched a petition calling for the government to make wealthy people pay higher taxes.

Dear 44 Rich Germans,

I can think of three alternative solutions to your dissatisfaction: 1. write the government a check for the amount you would like them to have, 2. write that amount minus 20% directly to whatever social and economic causes you would like the government to spend that money on (20% because that is approximately how much the government will keep for themselves), 3. write the check to me, which I gladly use to spur economic activity.
