Protestors in Germany Demand Tax on Wealthy

Many German citizens took the streets to demand that a tax be placed on the wealthy. The citizens that took the streets in protest belonged to "unions, civil society groups and anti-globalization" groups. These individuals want the wealthiest citizens in Germany to pay more of a tax than there poorer counterparts in order to promote a more equal society. The tax that the groups support would affect about 1% of all of the people in that society. In fact, the new tax will not affect 99% of the population in Germany.
